This myth has to stop. It's almost impossible to fire anyone on the spot. You can't tell them "go home, and I don't want to hear from you again". You have to give them up to 3 months notice (depending on the contract, for engineers, it's going to be 3 months).
But you can still have them go home and never come back, as long as those 3 months are paid.
Edit: BTW, it works both ways. You can't quit on a whim either. You need to give the same amount of notice.
- user5994461 10y agoFor a UK contract (and probably USA), there is a clause that says 'if any party decides to end the contract, so be it, and there will be X weeks/months of notice". For a French contract (CDI = permanent), it's not possible to terminate the employee unilaterally.

- user5994461 10y agoI'm willing to agree if you word it as "It is not strictly impossible".
- WildUtah 10y agoFor a UK contract (and probably USA), there is a clause that says 'if any party decides to end the contract, so be it, and there will be X weeks/months of notice". I don't know what anyone's contract says, but the law in the USA is clear. Notice (and cause) are strictly optional. People offer two weeks notice when leaving by convention, but it is not required nor rewarded. You can be asked to leave at any time with no warning nor compensation nor explanation.
