employee leaking out cofidentional information

I have a part time employee who has worked at my store for approx 10 years. I bought the store in Oct 2012 and since he had no employment contract i am unable to say with any certainty when he started. He was probably working full time hours 10 years ago but for the past 18 months he has worked approx 6-10 hours per week for me. I have to let him go and want to know how much notice i have to give, how much i have to pay him. And any other things i need to know. I am letting him go primarily because he is 66 and is starting to forget things and make mistakes which is seriously damaging my business and reputation (it's a small retail store with clientele who are giving me negative feedback about this employee).

I am an employer, just came into the discovery that the office manager paid herself extra salary without my permission or having supporting time sheets. Unfortunately i was and am having limited capacity to spend in the office and I trusted her. The amount is more than $ 40,000 I am willing to compromise and laid her off, or can I fire her?
