There are actually some legal gradients here. You are right that the OP almost certainly employs the BizDev guy as an at-will employee and can hence fire him at any time for no reason at all.<p>However, if he is fired for cause (&quot;Mr BizDev guy. You are being fired because you sexually harassed Jane Smith.&quot;) instead of just fired without a reason (&quot;Mr BizDev guy. Your services are no longer needed here. Thank you for your service.&quot;) then that cause can definitely be questioned if proper procedures were not followed.
