Payton was recently dismissed from her job in a hardware store. She had often been late for work, and she was so unresponsive to customers' needs that the store had received several complaints about her. Furthermore, she frequently complained about policies and procedures. A week after Payton’s dismissal, the store's manager learned that Payton intended to sue the company for wrongful dismissal. She was saying she had complained of management's misdeeds, so the company retaliated. How should the human resource department have prepared the company for this situation?

Based on the information provided within the question in regards to the situation, it can be said that the human resource department should have created a separate department that focuses on documenting employee behavior and talking to the employees who demonstrate bad work ethics. By doing so they would have proof as to why they fired Payton and the lawsuit would immediately go away.
