What might such procedures involve? One approach would be to specify the acceptable reasons for dismissal. Such factors as incompetent job perfor¬mance, intoxication, inordinate absenteeism, theft, fraud, and economic neces¬sity would be obvious candidates. This approach seeks to establish just cause conditions for dismissal. However, specifying every possible acceptable rea¬son and distinguishing them from unacceptable reasons beforehand might well be impossible. As a result typical due process policies outline a proce¬dure through which employers must go before they can dismiss an employee. (The Miranda rights in law developed in just such circumstances. The Supreme Court concluded that it could not and would not attempt to specify every type of illegitimate police tactic. Instead, it required police to follow a particular process—reading the Miranda rights—and concluded that this process was sufficient to protect citizens against unjust police authority.)
