Is there an Iqamah for women when they gather to perform prayers?

Answer:

If they call an Iqamah, there is no objection to it, and if they leave it, there is no sin upon them, because the Athan and the Iqamah are only an obligation upon men.

Should I endeavor to fire a Muslim employee who works in my department but doesn't pray?

It is incumbent upon you to advise him first, and perhaps Allah Almighty will guide him; if the advice has no effect, fire him, because by not praying he has become a disbeliever, an apostate.
