1. Manager has taken performance/behavior concerns to HR.
2. Manager has followed HR's guidance to the letter, usually over several months, and performance/behavior has not sufficiently improved.
3. HR agrees that termination is warranted, and conducts necessary termination procedures.

If you're asking what performance/behavior concerns warrant a conversation with HR, it's any action (or lack thereof) that inhibits job performance at the expected level. Can range from incompetence, to disrespect, to simply being irresponsible. Illegal activity or other egregious offenses may warrant immediate termination.

In any case, when firing someone becomes a considered option, it's time to go to HR - for manager or subordinate.

I have a friend who just started a new job-went from a big ad agency to a small start up. The boss at the new job wants to create the company website to show generic work. No actual clients, just work with made up company names. They have many clients that they work with-but won’t show them online. I have never heard of this? Why would someone do that? Isn’t it counterproductive to show fake companies and work? How can they discourage their boss that’s not a good idea without offending them?
