Option #1: Ask him (face to face) to talk with him privately, punch him as hard as you can right in the nose, then talk to an employment lawyer to make sure you're in the clear to dismiss him for a breach of professional trust.
Option #2: Most of #1, but (instead of an employment lawyer) demote him to the mail room so he'll resign (no severance or unemployment).
Also, never allow a single person, however trustworthy, to be so indispensable to your business that you can't thrive without them.

- gnu8 14y ago#2 is more complicated than you think. It would be seen as a constructive dismissal, basically equivalent to a termination. Only a lawyer can properly advise if this is a good idea. I'm going to type the words a few more times for emphasis: lawyer lawyer lawyer lawyer lawyer lawyer lawyer lawyer up.
- greenyoda 14y agoIf this is happening in the U.S., then the employee is probably an "at-will" employee, who can be fired for any reason whatsoever - as long as you're not discriminating against him based on his sex, religion, or membership in some other legally protected class. People who've slept with your wife are not a protected class under law.
- gnu8 14y agoThe point is giving an employee nothing useful to do so that they resign may be the same as terminating them, so they might still be entitled to severance or unemployment benefits.
