Your company should have procedures to deal with it. You need to look at the Dispute Resolutions Act (amendments) of 2004 (I think that's what it's called). Basically, if you're considering dismissal of someone, then they have to be taken through a proper disciplinary process, with proper notification etc.
If the case goes to an employment tribunal, then the employer needs to show (and I would suggest have documentary evidence) that the employee warranted dismissal and that the employer tried everything reasonably possible to help the employee (except where the matter relates to gross or normal misconduct).
Try the ACAS website or try the Labour Reseach Department (don't know the link). The latter publishes a kind of code of practice for employment law etc. and covers the Disciplinary and grievance procedure.
As a manager, I always set down strict achievable objectives for everyone and if they don't meet these objectives then I start addressing their performance. I document everything, because you need to have evidence to dismiss people and you'll certainly need it if you have to go to a tribunal.
Enjoy!

You need to be careful about sacking staff, as they can take a civil action regarding unlawful dismissal.In the Uk the fine is upto £50,000.
Your local Citizens Advice, or the government produce a number of leaflets relating to dismissal of staff, and the laws that govern this

Thi should really be a no-brainer. You can only sack staff for gross misconduct. Personal capriciousness is not a good reason.
