If an employee commits serious conduct that is under gross negligence then the company may decide for a warning or a termination which may contain the reason and legal basis for his ill-conducts and mentioning his previous warnings, if there were any. In this case, it is best to write a gross negligence letter which may serve as a reason for his dismissal.
This letter should further include the details of the meeting that was conducted in order to approve his termination. In addition, the details of his paycheck and his right to appeal may also be discussed.
