Here's a great checklist from Nicole Snyder in our Boise office for things to think about before discharging an employee; you can also get to the checklist from this link: http://www.idahoemploymentlawblog.com/2012/03/a-checklist-to-use-before-discharging-an-employee.html. It's a great list of items to consider before you discharge an employee, regardless of whether your employees are in Idaho or another state. As with any checklist, this is not meant to be all-encompassing; you may be in state with special rules, or in an industry subject to regulations that impact a discharge decision. Still, this is a great resource.
