Add Comment Question: My wife received a "with cause" termination letter dated October 3/2017, on Oct.15/2017. It says that as of September 1/2017 she no longer worked for the company Their reasons for termination are false and we can prove it. They just wanted to put in reasons they came up with to make it sound good. They paid her no severance because they used the "Just Cause" reason. Can they do either? Answer: Hello Dean Terminating an employee for cause is a very high legal standard. Many employers wrongly assert cause so they don't have to pay their employees and hope they don't try to enough their rights.
