Hello, I have an employee that told us her father in law passed away and she was going to India to make arrangements. We told her that was fine (as we expected her to be there approx 1-2 week) She then later in an email told us she will be gone for at least 45 days, No return date included. We had to hire someone to fill her position as her position essential for our company to continue to run. She now has emailed her return date as of Oct 29, I would like to terminate her and give her termination pay in lieu of notice. She has been with the company for 6 months. Would this constitute wrongful termination?
