Can we fire someone for not signing off on our policy manual?

10/21/2013

Q: We just updated our employee policies and procedures manual and are asking them to sign a standard acknowledgement of receipt form. My question is: If some employees refuse to sign it, is it grounds for termination? Or, can we tell them not to report to work. as they have not complied with a requirement? Or should we just document they refused to sign? – Jay, California
