Solid advise!! Employees accrue time that must be compensated as severance if you need to terminate their employment for any reason. For example, if I had to fire our housekeeper, I would owe her $3700 usd in severance, even if I set her up with a new job the next day.

Another way to go.....perhaps not the nicest route....is to have the employee sign a letter of resignation that you can date later should you need to terminate him/her or they "leave" for some reason. If an employee quits, or does not turn up for 14 working days (don't quote me on that #) you do not have to pay severance.
