This morning Andrea, your most disgruntled employee, turned in her resignation and will be leaving in two weeks.
You are thrilled. Andrea has been a problem employee for a long time. In fact, over the last couple of weeks, she has been doing even less work than before and has made disparaging remarks about the company.
You tell Andrea she can pack her things and go. Andrea reminds you that she gave a two-week notice, and she wants to work through the notice period.
How should you handle this issue?
You are thrilled. Andrea has been a problem employee for a long time. In fact, over the last couple of weeks, she has been doing even less work than before and has made disparaging remarks about the company.
You tell Andrea she can pack her things and go. Andrea reminds you that she gave a two-week notice, and she wants to work through the notice period.
How should you handle this issue?
- Let Andrea continue to work. You are required to let her work through her notice period by law.
- Ask Andrea if she wants to shorten her notice (and get it in writing). If she chooses not to, let Andrea know she no longer needs to report to work and that you will pay her through the notice period.
- Get rid of Andrea, the sooner, the better. No harm is done since she gave her notice.
- Wait till the end of the workweek to tell her she no longer needs to report to work. You are required to wait till the end of the week and consider her resignation before making a move.
