Exclusive to Canadian HR Reporter from Rudner Law.
Being dismissed is hard to take. When we speak to employee clients who have been dismissed, they often struggle with what they believe is the lack of a good reason for their dismissal.
While empathetic, we usually inform them that in Canada, there is no such thing as job security. Employers enjoy a significant amount of discretion when dismissing employees without cause, and are not required to give reasons; they can generally fire away so long as they pay the requisite amount of termination pay.
