TweetYes, Dzone, that is a hard place for you to be in. She is doing what she feels she needs to do for herself, and you need to do the same. Is it possible to hire this new girl part time? Then maybe bring back the other girl part time also, at a later date? I'm just trying to help you with ideas... It sounds like you have given her options, but she is pretty strong on her stance right now?

A time like this calls for hard decisions that don't feel good . In an effort to stay present, you need to do what you have too so your business can run as efficiently as possible.

As the country changes, business needs will change.

Thanks Baby1. Yes, it is a little bit awkward. It is a hard decision. I dont even think she considered the fact that she might get replaced. She does some things exceptionally well, but the other things like coming in to work late so often is getting old and I dont feel like I need to baby sit people and tell them obvious things like please be on time. That should be automatic.

TweetI could also see employers who fire employees for refusing to work during covid 19 as being somehow the bad guy. Like how many employers are going to be sued for firing people during this crisis? People feel they have the right to refuse to work and still keep their job

The aftermath will definitely present problems, but it is now that you are concerned about. Is she your only employee?

Dzone, if you have someone thats willing to work now, I think I would hire her. Will she be able to start asap and jump right in without too much training required by you?

I have 2 employees, the other one was part time and she just had cornea surgery and has been off work anyway, but my full time employee is the one who doesnt want to work now. The other girl who I heard about, has experience and could be able to start right away. Dang, what a mess. Or do I ride this out, since business is really really DOWN atm.
