Pay for good legal advice before hand. Try to resolve the attitude issues in house, but have all your bases covered before hand legally in case you need to dismiss her. You're the boss....you can afford a hell of a lot better lawyer than she can. So if you do things legally, she won't be able to touch you. If she's not loyal to your organization and no longer likes the positions that you have to offer in the company....she's free to leave. Christ this is Alberta...she can find a new job tommorrow if she really wants to. Chances are your average employee isn't going to pay for the lawyer and gain that reputation over what they'll realistically get out of a settlement.
