I think I need to fire my current assistant. She is not performing well, has not shown up to a CPR class 3 times that I keep scheduling her for. She has called out "sick" 3 times in the past month. She's been working here since Feb. 1.

My question is about unemployment. If I fire her, am I responsible for her unemployment, assuming she files? I have paid her less than $1500, which is the cut off for me to have to have unemployment insurance. I am not finding much information on the Virginia unemployment site, I do have a call in to them.

My attorneys asking $200 to answer and research this for me, so if any of you know, or can point me in the right direction, that would be excellent.
