What is the name of your state? NH
I have an employee who has been with us for slightly over a year and is simply not meeting our needs (we're a small technology consulting company). She simply lacks the skills that we need for one of our contracts.
When she came on board she signed a "boiler plate" letter that clearly stated that she was an at-will employee.
I've met with her a few times over the last year and discussed her performance with her and she knows that I am not satisfied with her technical capabilities.
She is currently working for us with a client in a very security sensitve capacity.
I plan on letter her go -- I have no confidence that she is going to excel in her job.
I simply plan on letting her know that she is not meeting my needs.
question -- how much notice should I give her? do i need to be more specific in providing a reason for her termination?
My concern is that I want to follow "industry norms", but also don't want a disgruntled employee around on a high security job, or lodging a complaint for unfair termination.
thanks in advance for any help that is offerred.
