Brad, in current America you need to have written polices with regards to acceptable work practices
You have to document the infraction and give warning (or termination depending on your companies policies)
As much as it sucks to say it - have your legal team and Human Resources draft an acceptable polices and work standards document if you don't already have one.
Have 2 copies given to all employees, one they must give back signed stating they have read and understand the document
Beyond that what would I do, give the employee a written warning with the understanding that surfing ESPN.com on company time is unacceptable (if that is in keeping with workplace standards) and may be grounds for termination
Really depends on the situation, employee and work place atmosphere

ah the beauty of Texas... being a work at will state.. we can actual let someone go for any reason what so ever... now... they are allowed to claim unemployment if, and only if they were "let go" for non diciplinary reasons (ie layoff) .. if they are caught stealing... etc... then yes.. best to document then fire.. and you are still in the clear...
we really do not run a sweat shop and we have been very tolerant over the last few months... but we have some big new projects with strict deadlines that must be met... and some people just don't get it...
