Recently we decided, on
a Monday evening, to terminate an hourly employee first thing Tuesday morning
for performance reasons. When the employee reported to work on Tuesday morning,
we immediately discharged him. We handed him a final paycheck and included his
full wages for Tuesday because we were unsure whether we owed wages for the
termination day (even though he didn’t perform any work on Tuesday). Were we
required to pay for the termination day?
