This is a continuation of another post of mine.

So my problem manager has resigned and gave several weeks of notice. All of his responsibilities have been delegated and we are in transition mode to work with his direct reports. I can see improvement already. We have a list of action items from the staff and prioritizing.

While he is slightly disruption to the staff, I have decided to keep the manager until his final day. Do you think this is a good idea? Frankly, I have a reputation of releasing staff within days of resigning. He could be playing the odds of this happening and could approach me to leave sooner. Did I miss the boat on negotiating his last day?

How far out was his notice? What state are you in again?

Depending on your state's unemployment rules, once an employee resigns, if the employer accepts it early, often there are no penalties to the employer and the employee can't file for unemployment. However, different states differ on the amount of time between the notice given and the last day the employee has given.

I personally would do anything and everything to let him go as soon as possible. I don't see any need to negotiate.  Unless there is knowledge transfer needed, get him out the door!

I am in NYC....

He has another job.... allegedly.

So, I can just state this is your last day and not pay him beyond that point?

Yes, in all states, all you are required to pay is hours actually worked unless you have other PTO/severance/commission/bonus policies.

RRUPERT - you are awesome....would send you a more personal note of thanks but I am not sure how to do just that to you in here!!!!

I am considering cutting him loose next week as he is not needed any longer and is so very bitter. We have moved forward as a Team and everyone is slowly getting on board. We have a plan to complete all the re-training, clear communication over the next so many weeks and I am highly pleased how everything is working out.

I am beyond thrilled at the moment and in time my plan is to get everyone else in the same frame of mind. I was shown this video the other day and wondering if business appropriate for my Team.
