If crocs ate stupid people we wouldn ' t have rFloridaMan <| sep |> Absolutely . Even if you ' ve already suspended them beforehand for whatever they have done . You can ' t just expect a staff member to come in when you haven ' t assigned them a shift aka on their day off so you can term them . Scenario staff member commits terminable infraction that DOES NOT require immediate termination Option A coach them at the end of their shift and suspend them . When they come back in you fire them . This way you have time to reconcile your decision andor discuss it with your team assuming you have a teamOption B don ' t coach them and save that convo for their next shift . Staff member comes in , you term them before they work that shift . Calling them in on a day off is just as senseless . It ' s also illegal because you aren ' t paying them for their presence so they aren ' t required to give you their time . A staff member should be clocked in when you term them and having a staff member clock on a day off just so you can let them go is counterintuitive .
