First, you must consider is if firing the pregnant employee has anything to do with the pregnancy. How do you separate him without a big lawsuit? For example, the sacked worker may return the firm's property she has at home. If you laid off the jobholder in the morning, this meeting mostly will occur in the early afternoon.
Legal watch-out #1: Avoid saying anything in the meeting the worker might construe as wrongful bias. Since you detailed everything, it will be hard for them to turn around and say they were dismissed for no reason. However, based on her allegations of sexual discrimination and her rebuttal, she's probably to take lawsuit. Even though some offerings like severance pay are not necessary, they make the layoff method go much smoother. Also, in many states, commissions earned by the worker should be paid within three working days after the last day of employment. 4) If you dismiss your rival immediately, she'll probably want revenge through a suit. Here's what causes the most unlawful termination suits. If your department doesn't have a form already, you can use it as a template. If you separate employees due to downsizing, keep the all personnel informed. (Probably these steps will be consistent with any investigatory policies you have.) But if you don't have a policy, then this method is proper for any gross misbehavior investigation. It must be his voluntary choice or you could face extra legal exposure.
