I like the way we handle it at my company. We sit down with them, tell them specifically what the issue is, how much time they have to fix it (usually 4-ish weeks), and what will happen if they don’t.
This gives them a chance to start applying elsewhere, or fix the issue. Usually it’s the former.
I feel less bad firing people this way, because it’s not a surprise to anyone, and they have time to fix the issue, if they want.
That said, for poor behavior, we fire immediately. The above policy is assuming poor performance, not policy violations.
