Many business owners are matzliach in building up a successful business and find themselves able to add employees as the company grows. Often a time, due to some economic reality, a company may come to a point where it can no longer keep all their employees and still maintain a profit. Often, employees are working with an “at-will” agreement as the contract does not specify a term and technically allows the boss to fire them at any time.
Q. Is one allowed to fire employees in order to keep the company running at a profit?
Q. Is there a reason to keep them on “Lifnim MiShuras HaDin”
Q. If the owner is allowed to fire them, will he have to give any severance pay if no such stipulation was agreed upon at the time of employment?
