I am not suggesting that you don't do the right thing by the employee, and making sure their employment is end in the right legal way is important, just that you should try to avoid euphemisms when faced with difficult situations.
Here in Australia we call laying someone off as being made redundant. I have often thought this is an anti-euphemism - you are not only unemployed, but you are redundant.
