Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California

Accountant Exposing Financials

I just found out our account has been telling other employees about our financial situation and showing our financial statements to them. We are cutting back on expenses and may need to layoff. I'm disappointed in our accountant. Do i have the legal right to fire him?

Re: Accountant Exposing Financials

Is your accountant an at-will employee or is he/she a contract employee. The answer to your question and the implications are dependent on this distinction. Google these terms for background and if you would like to review the situation with an me, feel free to contact me off-line.FYI this is an employment law question not legal ethics/PR.
