With the sue-happy nation we live in, it is easy for a terminated employee to bring a case against you and claim that you had no real ground for dismissal.

Using an exit interview policy, you will leave emotions out of the firing meeting. These are different circumstances for the most part involving insubordinate employees. This will give you peace of mind when dealing with this insubordinate individual. Other workforce may have written contracts as well.
