What if an employee leaves and removes Rel=Author verification from their Google Plus profile?

[ProjectLabs]

What if someone leaves your company and removes your site from their Google Plus profile (under "Contributor To"). Does that kill all the rel=author on the pages written by this former employee? (Should you use the email verification with employees to avoid this scenario? Email verification is a big hassle for us.)

Basically, you're SOL (siht out of luck), as we said in the Navy.  There was a good discussion on this topic here some months ago here.
