If the person is new employee, presumably you have a probation period clause in the contract, and at the end you can state that it&#x27;s just not working out, protecting both the accuser and and the accused from knowing circumstance?<p>You absolutely have to get rid of that type of person, it&#x27;s already moved outside of work context to a personal context (WhatsApp), which implies that the author of the messages is not comfortable talking about what he&#x27;s talking about in the context of a work environment because he knows it is wrong, and because he is willing to take that risk, it signals a danger.<p>You should speak to a lawyer about removing the person from the company in a quiet way (which I think is what the accuser would prefer to protect her complaint) – since he is new, it&#x27;s generally easier than ridding the company of a long-standing employee. Probation clauses are common in the United Kingdom, I&#x27;m not sure about the U.S. – so this advice might be awfully inaccurate.<p>If you have seen proof, the accused needs to be removed. He is toxic if you know for sure of the correct circumstance.
