Depends. Are you firing Mrs. Charleston right before taking her to Hawaii?


That would lead to some serious awkwardness! :-)

In all seriousness, put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself how you would want to find out. My guess is you don't want "to ruin her trip as little as possible" as much for how that would make you feel as opposed to them. My hunch, and it's only a hunch not knowing the parties and situation, is you would be better served bringing them in before and saying "look, I hate to do this right before you go on this wonderful trip, but the reality is we are going to have to let you go...." And if it's a severance paying position, well, at least that helps taking a little of the sting out of it.
