Few tasks in an employer's list of many responsibilities can be as stressful as having to deal with difficult employees. Knowing when and how to reward, discipline and terminate can be the difference between a productive and positive work environment or one that is contentious and unproductive.

Many employers make the mistake of terminating an employee too quickly and wind up facing high turnover costs including paying unemployment benefits, advertising and recruiting a replacement, and sometimes EEOC claims. Others, out of fear of these difficulties find themselves retaining a problem employee far too long which can create resentment, low morale and poor productivity among the entire work unit.
