Add Comment Question: I have a male adult employee who has been reprimanded a few times for innapropriate behavior with young female staff members. His reprimands clearly say that if this behavior continues he would be terminated. I have recently received another written complaint. Can I immediately terminate this staff member for misconduct? Answer: You can terminate this employee for misconduct but you may still owe him termination pay. How much compensation you owe him, if any, depends on a number of factors, including how serious his misconduct was. I encourage you to call me at the number below to set up a consultation.
