You and everyone else who advised me to not be so concerned about what others may think are spot on. This woman and I do NOT run in the same social circles. There's no way I could consume all that alcohol plus she's a biker chick type who lives for her Harley. I am a retired teacher/librarian. I am not exactly going to be heart broken if the local Sons of Silence group (Colorado's answer to the Hell's Angels) decides to snub me.
Again, I really appreciate everyone's support and advise!
No wonder she swears, drinks and gets roughed up by her old man. Sounds like an episode of Sons of Anarchy.
I Like the"I can't afford you any more" technique. You could even do it over the phone right after she has been paid so you don't have to see her again. Don't let her lead you into a discussion, just keep repeating the above, and say goodbye.
I definitely wouldn't have her come back once you let her go, who knows what she could steal or sabotage.
If possible, I would pay her 1-2 weeks, tell her you're mailing the final check with that extra payment. I think it would be money well spent to be rid of her, hopefully without any drama.
I think you will feel immense relief after you make that call and mail her check.
If she’s employed by an agency you can just call them and tell them you want someone else. They will remove her from your case and assign you a new caregiver.
“I am not happy with how you continually pad your work hours. As you know, we have discussed this on more than one occasion. Since it is apparent that you are not willing to be 100% honest in your dealings with me, your employment with me is being terminated immediately. I wish you well in your future endeavors, and thank you for your service”.
There is absolutely no reason why you would continue to put up with what has been happening. Remember, people only take advantage of those who let them. Don’t be that person but stand up for yourself!
Sorry, really bad advice(and you're usually spot on most of the time).
You don't say this to a dishonest person with a drinking a problem, especially not if you're disabled. From the what the OP has written she is capable of getting physical with others. The OP could end up injured or worse.
As others have stated it's no longer working out, the OP is having surgery and is needing someone is sober and reliable is needed now more than ever.
OP, who cares what she says. She sounds very trashy, she most likely has a reputation.
I would not allow her to come back to your physical facility. Pay her whatever you owe her. There are other better people you can find to work with you. If you let her back in even for one more day after you fire her, you might fear your physical safety in addition to your social well-being and your personal belongings as well.
Definitely don't offer to be a reference for her.
If she initiates asking for a reference, say yes and just give e-mail address only. Not a phone number or address.
If one of her referrers reaches out to you, give her a bad reference.
