Hello, while you have the right to terminate this employee's employment without even providing a reason, it is possible that he/she is entitled to more than 5 weeks' compensation. When terminating an employee's employment, it is important that you provide the employee with all of his/her contractual and statutory entitlements. Please contact our firm to discuss this matter further and ensure that you are terminating this person's employment in accordance with the law.
