Add Comment Question: I have a person who have worked part time for me 3 months and paid by hours. There is no contract between us ( I have know her for over 10 years when she worked for another employer). Now I found out she is older than 70 years and I am very concerned that if she falls and breaks bones in winter time as I do not have insurance to cove it. I want to let her go. Should I just tell her or writer a letter to her re termination? Should I tell her why I want to terminate her? Answer: You need to be very careful here because it is illegal to let an employee go because of age. You are able to ask from a letter from her doctor confirming that she can do the job safely. If you do decide to let her go, you need to give her notice or severance. Take a look at the severance calculator: severancepaycalculator.com and give me a call.
