Can I fire an employee for personal reasons?

If an employee is doing their job to a satisfying degree, but I don't feel good about them as a person, can I still fire them?

First of all, you are an HR personnel where you have big responsibility towards company and employee.

Perosnal reason should not come in the working envoirment with any cost. You should understand, that employee whom you have personal issue, might be the productive employee. So, be professional at work and keep perosonal reason/ issue behind. Hence, should not be fired just like that.

Thank you

It's better not to take any action of even promotion or termination on the ground of personal issues.

No man with rational thinking could do that. Firing an employee for personal references is against the labour laws.

This is highly unprofessional to fire somebody on personal reasons yet not allowed. No HR Professional can do that. There should always be strong reasons to fire an employee.
