A FRIEND AS AN EMPLOYEE

This case reviews a difficult situation between an employer that ends up having to reprimand and potentially fire their neighbors’ daughter. The employee, Wanda, was the daughter of the employer’s neighbor. The employer had known the employee since she was 11 years old. The families had been close. The employer, a general dentist, had even paid Wanda to baby sit when she was a teenager. Now Wanda is a college graduate and her first job as an adult is as the front desk receptionist in his dental office.
