Options are:
- Let the person work out the notice given.
- Terminate on the spot, paying the dollar amount of whatever this person would have earned (including bonuses, vacation pay, etc.) during the notice given.
- Put the person on a paid leave, until the end of the notice given.
- Negotiate a shorter, paid notice period, using some combination of 1 to 3.
In all cases, the reason for leaving on the ROE would be quit.
The advantage of 2 is that it caps any possible liability from a disability claim.
