By civil law, there would have to be a contract that stated that, or said what compensation the servant was owed if discharged.
By Bible law, you must reinstate the servant if the servant loves you. Exodus 21:5&6 says, "But if the slave plainly says, 'I love my master, my wife and my children; I will not go out as a free man,' then his master shall bring him to God, then he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him permanently."
The word 'servant' is a noun, a singular, common noun; a word for a person.
Science is a Good Servant but Bad Master
The parable of the unforgiving servant is about a servant who owed a large debt to his master. The master forgave the servant's debt, but the servant then refused to forgive a smaller debt owed to him by another servant. The master was angry and punished the unforgiving servant for his lack of forgiveness. This parable teaches that forgiveness is important and that we should forgive others as we have been forgiven.
The opposite of master is slave.

Water can be a poor servant when it causes floods or damages property, and a bad master when it leads to drowning or poses a danger in large quantities. Its unpredictable nature can make it challenging to control and manage, making it both a risky servant and master.
A servant with two masters is commonly referred to as being in a "dual allegiance" or having a "conflict of interest." This situation can create challenges as the servant may have conflicting duties or priorities to fulfill for each master.
