The penalty for willful insubordination unaccompanied by any major financial loss cannot be dismissal, more so for an employee with no blemished record of the past. If it is a simple instance of willful insubordination and if it is the first instance, you may award a penalty of a warning since he is a contributing member and has served the company for a decade. If he disobeys an important instruction/order of the superiors that has a bearing on the company's working, general discipline, or image, you can impose a stricter penalty like stoppage of increment or increments. However, what shall be the duration for which his future increment/s can be stopped and whether it should be with cumulative effect or without cumulative effect depends upon the facts and circumstances of each case.
