If the employee is an employee at will, you can fire him for any reason you want, or no reason at all, subject to anti-discrimination laws.
If the employee's job is protected by contract or corporate policy rising to the level of a contract, the issue is whether the termination is permissible under the contract.
I would need more specifics to give you a more definitive answer.
