Add Comment Question: Can an employer assault an employee and fire them right after? Answer: Thank you for your question. My name is Stephen Gillman and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. In answer to your question, NO an employee is never entitled to assault an employer, whether the employer terminates the employee or not. If you have been assaulted by your employer and/or terminated please contact me right away at stephen.gillman@stlawyers.ca so we can set up a time to speak.
