Add Comment Question: Can an employer terminate you if you haven't been working, due to not being on a schedule for a while and because you haven't heard back from them? Also if you haven't sent your other job schedule to them. Answer: Thank you for your questions. An employer can terminate you at any time without a reason but they must pay severance. If your employer has significantly reduced your hours then this could be considered a constructive dismissal and you would be owed severance. I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you may be owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). I would also encourage you to call us and set up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers.
