This is indeed the correct thing to do, if the harassment can be verified or is at a level that merits such termination.
I once was involved in a disciplinary case where a group of unionized employees claimed one employee was harassing them by having a bad odor every day. They put to their steward that this was a hostile work environment. I documented several times where I personally talked to the employee, never smelt a thing.
Should I have fired or moved that employee?
A lot of people here make quite a few assumptions on the extremely limited info provided…
No. Terminating the harasser is the proper thing to do. And contact local law enforcement if there was any criminal conduct.
Moving the harasser means they’ll continue their actions somewhere else.
