Does this employee have rights under any union agreement, employment contract or even company policy under the circumstances? Is not letting them continue employment constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination? If not, then you are under no legal obligation to allow this employee to stay. The fact is that in an "at will" work relationship, a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit. This includes determining who gets to continue in its employ.
