If it was me I would have a sit-down talk with the individual if they are good at the work. Explain to them how their behaviors affecting the company and tell them if you don't see a turnaround you may be forced to let them go.

So I think my biggest issue with all of this is that because its not performance related, I have nothing to really pinpoint- all the gossip crap is nothing but he said/she said...its all intangible. We have tried to confront this person before and they deny and say all the right things to our face. But then we hire someone new, and within days, that new person is asking questions about stupid shite that we fixed months ago and can only be attributable to one person. This person is disgruntled, has applied for other jobs (I have connections and have been informed from colleagues), and is simply waiting for their "contract" to be up before leaving...so in the meantime, they just spread BS to anyone that will listen.

But again, its all intangible...their work is actually good. I just want to get rid of this cancer....and I really dont want to go to court over it.
