Can you get fired for no reason

There was an incident at work last week that led to my being sent home for the evening. I have been awaiting HR's response as to whether or not I am being terminated, but since that evening I have worked all of my scheduled shifts. Is that the proper process of termination? Or should I not have been under some sort of suspension pending my termination.

Can I get fired while on wsib

I manage an apartment building and live here in ontario can my employer fure me and ask me to leave in 2 weeks?

I was terminated from my company yesterday which has come as a shock. As far as I was aware I was doing everything correctly, exceeding all of my sales goals and targets (I managed a large pet store for a small chain). They would not give me a reason for the termination other than 'I'm not a good fit'. They handed me a letter that stated they will be offering 4 weeks severance, paid in continuance and on your final pay as well as full bonus. My next pay day is Friday yet they have now said I won't get the severance and bonus until May 5th. I was wondering if there is a case here as I was able to retrieve a handful of more recent emails stating how well of a job I was doing. Unfortunately it appears that I was let go as I was more of a thret to my immediate boss. Any help is greatly appreciated as I have not been in this position before.
