Was Whitesatin's question for me?  Wasn't quite clear!  At the final meeting, she was very tearful (which was quite distressing for me) but I asked her if she knew why we were now having the meeting (this was after she came back to work after three more days AWOL) and she said yes, she did.  I told her that I was very sorry but, after the warnings that she'd had, and the time we'd given her to improve her timekeeping / absenteeism, we had no choice but to terminate her employment with immediate effect, and that she'd be paid up to the end of the month.

I later had a phone call from her mother thanking me for our patience and that she would have done the same thing, under the circumstances.
