Make sure that you terminate early employees on good terms. Have a termination agreement in place so if investors or employees reach out, you would have neutral or positive feedback. Make sure your termination agreement follows the law and is not ones sided, (or it would not have any effect as such agreements are not enforceable). Make sure that your HR and HR only can provide feedback regarding that employee. Oh, you don’t have HR? You probably done a lot of things that are illegal and opened yourself to lawsuits. Have you been paying him market salary? If you’ve been paying sub-market salary don’t even think going after the stock.
