I think maybe you might be mistaken about her knowing beforehand that SHE knew there was a difference in the windshield glass. She might have just spoken with her husband about it being repaired and you paying the cost. It seems to me, that she picked up the money, had it done and then her husband might have said something about there being a difference and then wanting it to be the good glass used (to replace what was good glass to start with). It seems like she could then have talked to the company when picking up the car and received the quote from them about how much it might cost with the other glass instead, again most likely after it had already been worked on. Then she mentioned it to you. Since this was only 30 minutes after she got the car back, it could have happened that way. Then, after bringing the car home, the husband could have seen the windshield and said that it actually looked ok with how they did it after all. I think offering the $600 back would have been fair, as there obviously IS a difference in the 2 types of glass (so much that one costs 4 times the amount), and since her higher quality glass was replaced with cheaper stuff, keeping half of that $1200 seems fair IMO.

To her, it looked like you were unhappy about having to pay out all that money and so you let her go. I find it ridiculous if you fired her for not being honest, when it could have gone down like I said above and there was nothing premeditated about her asking for more money after the repair. If you were already considering starting to take on the job duties yourself, then I think you just need to make clear to her that was a big part of your decision to fire her (in addition to the rest).[/quote]

It was NOT higher quality if it broke that easily from a young child.  She never should have taken the money.[/quote]
