But instead of terminating them outright, you should give them a second change. For example, you might say, "Personnel who fail to wash their hands after using the rest room will receive one day suspension after the first offense, three days after the second offense, and dismissal after the third offense."

(To be safe, you should just read the lay off memorandum and stay away from offhand comments.)
