[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you allowed to terminate her immediately or was the PP correct that that would be considered a retaliatory discharge? [/quote]

There are significant penalties for retaliatory discharge and they are not likely covered by insurance. In addition unless you’re not going to contest a claim for retaliatory discharge, there will likely be attorneys’ fees because it may be a claim that the carrier does not have to defend. OP should consider talking to her carrier and/or an attorney before she takes any action. I said it before - don’t take advice from internet strangers. [/quote]

And DC doesn’t seem to be a particularly friendly venue for employers, either. If I were you, though, I’d be figuring out exactly where the bounds are. Stop giving her any leeway or taking any steps that make her life easier that aren’t legally required. She’s almost certainly half way to quitting on her own, so just try to make that decision easier for her.

The fear, though, is that this is part of a scam engineered from the start to sue you.

How were her references? Did previous employees notice any sketchy behavior?[/quote]

She had two strong and long term references. There’s really nothing we can do at this point. She didn’t reach out to us about coming back to work, when I texted to check in she replied to say she had the doctors appointment scheduled for tomorrow morning and then she’d share an update. If I had reached out to her I wouldn’t have known she’s not coming again tomorrow. [/quote]
