Thanks so far guys, I did forget to add that the employee never showed up at all today, and I never returned the message - as I was hoping they had enough sense to show up.

Did you return his call? If he didn't hear from you he might be assuming he has already lost his job.:sad:

I didn't return the call because 1) I assumed if you wanted a job bad enough you would have showed up anyway, and don't need me telling you that you need to be there and 2) I was so frustrated with that, and trying to wrap up this job, that I didn't want my temper to get the best of me on the phone.

So, depending on how the talk goes tomorrow (if employee shows up), what is everyone's thoughts on sending him home for a day or two?

In my case, at one point, I'd probably let him screw up for weeks, pay a fortune to employ him and then get so disgusted I'd fire him.
However... after years of employees, I think the voice of reason is a good one.
He's been good so far, and you've invested three weeks in this guy - not too long, but 3 weeks is 3 weeks.
I vote for a sit down to see what's up.
I wouldn't let him stew, by not returning calls. That just causes you stress too. Remember it's not a contest, the deal is if you are employing him, and he decides to have a battle of wills, you have the ability to make him magically disappear!
