[Avodah] Firing a Rabbi

[Yosef Skolnick]

Following the discussion on areivim regarding a Rabbi being allowed to bring
his own hashkafos into a community that disagrees (with cause or without), I
would like to ask on avodah:

Is a Rabbi allowed to be fired? When?  Does he have the status of a king
(see teshuvas harashba [IIRC re: is there a yerusha of the rabbanus (kuntrus
shisha maalos lakisei)]? Do we have to wait and just not renew a contract?
Is that even allowed? Does this diminish the role a rabbi can play in the
community?

There is a teshuva by Rav Shternbach that allows it under certain
circumstances.  I don't have the sefer at home otherwise I would quote where
it is.

Thoughts?
