Holy shit. Don't do it and get something in writing too if you can, like make your reply in writing rather than verbal but reference what you were asked to do. Sounds to me like the director isn't just gutless but manipulative enough for you to be the target if the employee responds with aggression, legal action etc. I'd also bet that the director would stab you in the back and act all sympathetic to the employee.
Thank you. I sent an email to the director this afternoon outlying how the proposed course of action is a risk to the business and proposed performance managing the employee and making sure we have done everything right in the eyes of Fair Work. If they don't listen I'll then hit them with the fact I could be personally liable for not following due process and I'm not prepared to do that.
