If you had never done it before but found out it is now part of your job with the company; how would you fire somebody?

I live in an at-will employment state and I have a law degree, therefore I would never give a reason.  My answer assumes there is no employment or collective bargaining contract.

I would walk into the employee's office with two security employees (one male, one female) and say that he/she is being separated from the company today.  The reason for one male and one female security employee is in case the former employee requests to go to the restroom.  I would go over the paperwork and explain the check(s) included in the file.  There would be acknowledgement to sign.   I would tell her to gather her belongings and hand her company ID/badge to me.  The security employees and I would escort the former employee out of the building to her car.  The security guys would remove any type of parking decal or sticker used for admittance into company parking areas.  They then would drive behind the former employee to the edge of company property.
