Advice for Small Business owner terminating an employee
Posted on 11/29/19 at 6:53 am
Posted on 11/29/19 at 6:53 am
I have only owned my business about 2 years and I inherited a staff from the previous owner. One of the workers has crossed a line that cannot be undone with her attitude and insubordination. I have good documentation including several text messages from her that are pretty damning To complicate things further, this lady has a sister that works for me too. My business lawyer is a good friend as well and my thoughts are to have him sit in on the termination. Thoughts?

Eliminates a discrimination claim. Especially if you replace her with a black woman.
Otherwise I'd delete this post.

Well, prepare to be called a racist, at the very least

Have someone sit in. Don’t sugar coat it. Stick only the facts and keep it short
Sucks having to fire people but it is sadly a part of business

STD clinic?

Just terminate her. You don't need a lawyer. This is also coming across very racist, fwiw.

Delete this lost and contact and employment lawyer. Honestly hiring an employment lawyer to protect my business was the best money I ever spent.

You’re screwed no matter what happens. If you fire her you’ll get a discrimination lawsuit. If you keep her you’re stuck with a shitty employee.

Absolutely have someone else present, present the documentation for the reason of firing, and do it in as an emotionless way as possible.
Best of luck

You have a lawyer, consult with him. I will never for the life of me figure out why people come to the OT for questions like this. And you have just made a public post, discoverable in any litigation, describing her race and gender as complicating factors.

Offer her a severance package of ten Popeyes chicken sandwiches. You’ll be fine.

If you have a reason then frick her. Use her to send a message.

OP if it’s likely they will commit a fireable offense soon again, you may consider writing them up with a lot of documentation and a last warning. Maybe a day of unpaid leave as punishment or something of that nature.
The biggest mistake is not having clear documentation and text messages aren’t the Best as they are informal.
Finally, people act like all lawyers are giving slam dunk opinions. They aren’t. Generally lawyers opinions are to avoid a lawsuit at all costs. That it’s cheaper to avoid them then do what’s right and get sued.

I don’t believe it

Then he’d be facing sexual harassment as well.
He should not have sexual relations with that woman.
