If your gut says you should let him go, don't wait. Do it now. I kept an employee a couple of years longer than I should have because I didn't eat to take over his job. When I finally got tired of his crap I found out that others were capable and willing to take over. Everybody won. Even the fired guy moved on to a local government job where they would buy his bs and he didn't have to preform to get paid well.
