Tell the worker if there are any repercussions for this transgression. Then let him know what to anticipate if he repeats this behavior. Give a warning for the first infraction and a suspension for the subsequent offenses.

I think first and foremost you need to let them know the rules and regulations concerning the business and what would happen if they should ever break them. This way they would always have it at the back of their minds what to expect when things goes wrong.

one approach to handling this type of worker may be to de-emphasize their role in the organization, or to place them in a different role altogether. Additionally, it may be helpful to provide them with Atlassian tools and services, in order to help them more easily work in the organization.

A warning is usually enough for most people. Some people also need to be enlightened or reminded about the rules and expectations from them. A suspension would be the next step before complete termination.

The manager should talk to the person and let him/her know the problem and listen to his/her explanation. If there is no improvement, issue a warning letter. Terminate his/her employment when necessary.

It has been a practice that every company will show the contract before the signing of it by the new employee. For the sake of doing it again, I am sure he or she will be able to know what he or she signed in relation to the company's policies.

At some point, if they keep on doing it. I do agree to tell them again why they are violating certain rules in the company. If they keep on doing it, then they will really receive sanctions that are embedded in the company's rules.

There is no need keeping an insurbodinate worker beyond the first warning. That kind of attitude can rub off on the other staff and affect the entire organization negatively. No matter how skilled, let the person go.

It is true that an insubordinate worker should be shown the way out of the company.

Sometimes you will have to see the real reason why your worker is refusing your orders, are they legit orders, are your expectations unrealistic?

I agree. There are times that higher-ups are out of the line. They tend to ask their subordinated that are not included in their contract of agreement.

Rude workers refusing to obey at work are everywhere now. They most time do this without a valid reason, give such a warning. If there is no improvement, fire him/her.
