Fired for Cause? Our GTA Lawyers Can Help You Find Out
If your employer fired you with cause, it is not required to provide you with any form of severance. However, it is important to thoroughly investigate your employer's purported grounds for dismissing you as Ontario court decisions require a fairly high standard to dismiss an employee for just cause.
Our lawyer, Michael Lane Powell, specializes in this area of law and can provide you with a sound assessment of whether just cause exists and provide you with advice on your remaining legal options.
