Fired worker keeps asking for severance: How do I respond?

01/31/2011

Q. We have a hourly employee who was let go for performance issues after 90 days. Since his termination, he has sent multiple e-mails claiming he should be compensated for his trouble. I've told him the company doesn't offer severance packages. Am I obligated to keeping responding to his emails? Is there any value to continuing to respond? – Anonymous, Illinois
