  EdPDLaw - Defending the Insubordination Charge
In order to defend a charge of insubordination we must first define what constitutes insubordination.
Although definitions may vary from Department to Department, a standard LEO Rule and Regulation defines Insubordination as:
Lastly, although the stressors in the Officer's personal life have not been found as grounds to dismiss a charge of insubordination, they have been used to "mitigate" or lesson the penalty imposed.

  insubordination
There does seem to be confusion regarding when an employee must be charged under this heading of “insubordination”, or whether the charge should be under a different heading.
Insubordination may be described as resistance to or defiance of authority, disobedience, refusal or failure to obey reasonable and lawful instructions, insolence, cheekiness, rudeness, brining the employer’s name into disrepute, and rebellious or mutinous behavior resulting in an actual work stoppage.
Refusing to obey a lawful and reasonable instruction is misconduct (insubordination) and the employee must be disciplined in terms of your disciplinary procedure.

  Insubordination
Insubordination is typically a punishable offence in hierarchical organizations which depend on people lower in the chain of command to do as they are told.
Insubordination is not the same as foot-dragging, displaying a negative attitude, voicing complaints, or refusing to perform an action that is not safe, ethical, or legal.
The concept of insubordination is most often associated with military organizations as military organizations have a chain of command and lawful orders given by a superior officer are expected to be carried out by the person to whom the order is given.

 Legal Defense Fund - News Articles
Insubordination covers a range of conduct from refusal to obey an order to disrespectful, rude and insolent conduct.
For example, an allegation of insubordination will likely be sustained when there is sufficient evidence that shows that an employee; 1) knew of the policy or order and; 2) they refused to follow; or 3) failed to improve conduct over time.
This is not to suggest, however, that insubordination may not be sustained simply because of ignorance or the non-existence of a policy.

 what constitutes insubordination? - Alexander Hamilton Institute Message Board
Yes, insubordination is grounds for dismissal but as always, the incident needs to be put in it's entire context and company policy/precedent need to be consulted before making any decision.
Whether it is grounds for dismissal could depend on the level of insubordination and the possible or realized results of refusing to do as directed, and on whether it was an isolated case or a repeated behaviour.
I once saw a sales clerk stand in the middle of a store full of customers and, shouting, tell his boss that she was a stupid cow (not the c-word he used) and he was not about to do anything she told him to.

The concept of insubordination is most often associated with military organizations, as military organizations have a chain of command and lawful orders given by a commissioned officer (CO) or non commissioned officer(NCO), whose orders are expected to be carried out by the person to whom the order is given.
Refusal of a military officer to obey his (civilian) superiors would also count, though in some nations the head of the government is (at least technically) also the most superior officer of the military (see for example Commander in Chief in the US).
Other types of hierarchical structures, especially corporations, may also use insubordination as a reason for dismissal or censure of an employee.

 Insubordination - FOX23 News - Coverage & Convenience
Insubordination occurs when an employee deliberately refuses to obey or carry out a reasonable order from a superior.
Supervisors should also be aware that an employee who refuses to perform a task because he or she believes it's illegal, unethical, or immoral, or that it may place him or her in immediate danger of death or serious injury may have his or her rights protected in a court of law.
When handling an insubordinate worker, it may be helpful to take into consideration the severity of the offense as well as the employee's past conduct record before choosing an appropriate disciplinary action.

In other circumstances such as the German or Russian armies on the Eastern Front during World War II, the penalty tended to be an immediate execution without trial.
In the modern workplace in the Western world, the organizational culture is usually sufficiently relaxed and unmilitary so that the issue of insubordination rarely arises formally.
The power relationships in the modern workplace are less obvious and are sometimes inverted when employees with special and essential skills are so valuable to the organization that what would be considered insubordination in other cases is overlooked or at least no overt action is taken.

 Insubordination
The reasons for not tolerating insubordination are obvious — employees need to know that you, as the employer, are calling the shots.
Insubordination is clearly not acceptable in an employment relationship, and you don't need to have a policy on it in order to discipline or fire someone for insubordination.
However, a policy or general rule that insubordination will not be tolerated can be useful if you ever need to defend your actions in court.

If you’ve read one article on insubordination or heard your business representative speak of insubordination once, you’ve heard it a thousand times.
However, I have faced so many potential disciplinary situations where insubordination was the root issue, I want to reiterate some words of advice from my fellow agents and our union brothers and sisters: NEVER disobey a directive your supervisor gives you, regardless of whether it’s in your job description.
