Add Comment Question: Working in a labour job, do you legally need 3 written write ups to be fired ? and can you be wrote up for " going to slow" after only been asked a few times to speed up, when everyone else is going the same speed as you Answer: Hello, Generally an employer can terminate you at any time, without even have to provide a reason why, as long as you are terminated on a 'without cause' basis and the employer pays you your proper termination/severance entitlements. In some rare instances employers may take the position they have 'just cause' to terminate you, such that they don't pay owe any termination/severance entitlements. When it comes to just-cause terminations, especially based on performance, there are no set-rules as to what will constitute cause or not. However, it is a very high threshold for an employer to prove they have grounds to terminate for cause based on performance. If your employer is attempting to terminate you for just cause, you should definitely contact our office to speak with one of our employment lawyers whom can review your matter further and assess whether your employer has grounds to terminate you for cause or not. It really entails a case-by-case analysis. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
