My first thought was to let the employee go, I am trying to decide which is the best decision for the organization, because this is a (not for profit) farm organization operating on a fixed budget. One other consideration we are a organization that needs to maintain a high public image.
What charges and for what crime? That would definitely have to be a factor in any decision-
