Phone ACAS and get their advice. You should have logged any verbal warnings that have been given to the employee and any written ones. Check with ACAS that you have followed the correct procedure to the letter of the law. then sack her. Incidentally how long has she worked for you. If less than 12 months you can sack her without giving a reason anyway. |

If she is rude to your customers you can just sack her for gross misconduct. As long as you can prove it - if I was to be rude to any of my customers I'd be out of work faster than a speeding bullet! (Sorry - I should have pointed out I'm not bar staff!) |

For gross misconduct she can be sacked on the spot. Otherwise she has to be given 2 or 3 verbal warnings which have been logged then a written warning followed by final written warning then you can sack her. |

This should be a no-brainer.
If she drives everyone away for whatever reason, you will no longer have a business or, in your case, a social club.
1. Document her behavior.
2. Warn her about her behavior.
3. Give a chance to change her behavior.
4. Then, if no change, fire her because of her behavior.
Good luck. |

Just sack her and ask all the members she has abused to write a letter of complaint stating the circumstances in case she takes you to a tribunal. The law is loaded heavily against the employer in these situations and it is time employers insist on rights too! Come on people let's take our country back and stop kow towing to unfair rules and regulations! |

Bars sack people all the time. Give her a warning, explaining the problems she is causing and if she continues, or you have already warned her then you will have no option but to let her go. Nobody wants abuse when they go to a social club. She doesn't sound very sociable. Good luck and I hope you get your punters back. |

Definately sack her. If she has worked less than a year you do not have to give reason why. I sack her regardless as the consequences of a tribunal would be less than losing the business all together. She has rights but so do you. |

Most formal contracts of employment will give a notice of disciplinary rules and procedure - generally as follows:
FIRST STAGE - Formal Verbal Warning
Which is usually kept 'live on the employees file for a period of 6 months
SECOND STAGE - first Written Warning
For a re-occurrence of the same or related matter as the verbal warning, or where there has been no improvement demonstrated - a formal written warning is kept 'live on the employees file for 12 months
THIRD STAGE - Final Written Warning
As per second stage
Where an employee's misconduct is sufficiently serious to warrant a final written warning for a first offence, then a final written warning shouuld be issued, making it clear that any re-occurrence of the offence within 12 months will result in dismissal.
FINAL STAGE - Dismissal
For further re-occurrence of the same or related matters, where no improvement has been demonstrated.
As she is such a detriment to your club, and by the sounds of it you have given her fair warning. I would sack her - effective immediately. |

Yes, of course you can sack her. But follow the correct procedure unless the offence is really bad. However, from what you have said it sounds as though what has happened is bad enough to be sacked without prior warnings. |

Depends on the amount of time she has been with you,
If it is less than three months yes as there are no legal requirements after that you can give her notice to leave 1 week per year she has been there or if you check here
www.employmentlaw.co.uk
you may be able to release her immediately under gros misconduct |

If she has not responded to earlier warnings, then you are able to dismiss her. Do you have a disciplinary policy? Does it make provision for dismissing after repeated misconduct?
The most important thing is that you follow the Statutory Disciplinary Procedures, otherwise the dismissal will be automatically unfair. Also, the liability of a social club is very complicated; it could be all the members who had to pay any damages, or just the officers personally, or the club could be a legal entity itself. I would take advice from a direct access employment barrister first |

Yes, if you have followed procedure and issued warnings... And actually, being abusive towards customers should be a bye bye in my book.. you should make sure that your human resource manual is up to date that addresses these issues...
To bring back business...I would recommend a good Public relations marketing campaign to get things back on the plus side without compromising you low profit margin... |

I am not a hundred percent sure of this but I think she has 2 get 2 verbal warnings, then a written warning and she can then be sacked |

The easiest way is to manage her through the capability procedure, but before you start that you have to explore what she understands the role to be in her words ie get her to say that it is a customer facing role and that in her role she should be polite and friendly, make sure that that she is aware that all future conversations will be recorded in written format for your business and her benefit and state that should she consider to be rude or that you receive further complaints then this could result in her dismissal. Alternatively you could say that she is bringing your company name into disrepute which she also needs to be aware of before you can dismiss.
You also need to explore if there are any factors in her personal life that may be affecting her behaviour, IE has she had a health scare, has she ever said she is stressed with work, is her relationship outside of work in trouble, if that's the case you may need to offer her support instead of the sack.
Most of important of all make sure that you record in writing when you meet with her to discuss your issues you have with her work, and always state what the potential outcome will be if she continues to be off with the customers, IE she will be dismissed |
