Without Cause Terminations

There is generally nothing “wrong” with terminating an employee, so long as the employee is provided with adequate notice or compensation as required by the Employment Standards Code or common law. A termination “without cause” means the employee is being dismissed for business, restructuring, or other non-disciplinary reasons, and not for misconduct or performance issues.

If an employee is terminated for just cause, which would be dismissal for misconduct or performance issues, then they will not be entitled to additional severance or notice of termination.

Employees who are terminated without cause may be entitled to additional reasonable notice damages beyond the minimums set by legislation, depending on the unique circumstances of their case. Many employers only offer the statutory minimums, which are often far less than what the employee may be owed under common law. At Lypkie Henderson, we help employees understand their rights and ensure they receive the full compensation they’re entitled to.
