Add Comment Question: co worker is a truck driver he had a accident and rear ended another truck, co workers truck ended up being a write off, no injuries to him or other truck driver, no charges were laid by police, after 2 weeks of being suspended with pay they terminated him, this is my co workers first accident and is a excellent veteran of the road. Can the company terminate him legally. Answer: Thank you for reaching out to our firm. Unfortunately, a company can terminate an employee for any reason. However, that does not mean that the employee is not entitled to severance. It sounds as though this person will likely be entitled to severance. If you friend would like to discuss his matter with an employment lawyer, please have him phone the number below.
