I have an new employee with a record of past poor attendance.I know this because my production manager knows the employee father. "I gave him another chance". He has been employed by my company for 4.5 weeks and the trend has started. Pay cheques are handed to all employees on Friday. Twice in the last two weeks, he has failed to show up for work the following Monday and Tuesday. Both times his claim is that he is sick either by eating something that didn't sit well, or too much beer. Most employees when they are sick, and show up the next day, will have signs of not feeling well days prior. Which is understandable. But in this persons' case, there has not been any difference. I would like to terminate his employment. What would be my obligation financially upon his termination. He is paid 13 per hour.
Many thanks for your question.
