1. Help with laws ...

I have a small real estate company with about 40 agents and 3 clerical employees. We recently had to close one of our sales offices (due to the troubled real estate market). It is getting impossible to keep all 3 of my girls on payroll, since I have been putting my savings into the company to keep afloat (and that is dwindling). Is there a law as to who you must let go first, as far as seniority or salary? I would like to let go of the girl with the highes salary (she has also been with us the longest). Or do we have to fire the last hired first? Thank you for any help you can give me on this.
