No chance this is a millennial.

No let her go and when she gets healthy if you have an opening and she’s a good worker, hire her back.

Do not respond to the boyfriend! It does sound like drugs.
How was the boyfriend able to access the intranet? Wouldn’t he need a password? If she has amnesia, how did he get the password? Wouldn’t she need to remember it?
First, speak with HR. Many people are discussing FMLA. If she has only been working there for 5 weeks, she would not qualify for FMLA. Additionally, it would depend on the size of your company and the other rules to see if she would ever qualify and these depend on which state the company is in. Firing her is the best option. HR or a lawyer if no HR should confirm the process.

Better call your lawyer and ask him/her about FMLA.

You believe this, maybe you’re the one that needs to be fired.

her boyfriend messaged me on the company intranet saying she had a seizure and has amnesia. Doesn’t know her name, the year, ect. and the doctor has no time table for return to normalcy. He wants to know if this is cool and if she’ll have her job whenever she gets healthy.

Come on man, this is to easy. Request that she file FMLA paperwork for time off more than 3 days. You folks have much to learn about personnel management. Just because she may not qualify doesn't mean you can't require her to file.

Well dude if she can cross train to make sandwiches instead of just running the register she’s a keeper. Maybe have her scrape up the used rubbers in the parking lot.

Also, when she gets sick, does she provide a doctor's excuse?

If I read everything correctly the person has only been employed with you for five weeks.

Typically any company or business that is smart has a 90 day probation period. Upon the persons date of hire the HR person or a supervisor should have went through minimum expectations within that 90 day period.

This person seems to have failed at the minimum standards such as showing up for work during the 90 day probation period. I would assume or hope showing up for work would be a minimum standard.

At this point when the employee comes back to work have a review of the employees 90 day performance. Then let this person know they have failed to meet minimum performance standards.

Then let this employee go with their check if they earned anything.
