ABSTRACT
It is costly to hire and train new employees. Sometimes, however, it is cheaper in the long run to replace an employee who is not performing up to his or her potential. As a manager, you must make sure that you let employees know what you expect of them, and you must let them know when their performance is not up to par. You must document these evaluations; otherwise, firing an employee, regardless of his or her incompetence, can leave you open to legal action.
