Add Comment Question: There was an incident at work last week that led to my being sent home for the evening. I have been awaiting HR's response as to whether or not I am being terminated, but since that evening I have worked all of my scheduled shifts. Is that the proper process of termination? Or should I not have been under some sort of suspension pending my termination. Answer: Thank you for reaching out to our firm. There is not necessarily a proper or improper way to go about terminating someone, per se. However, we are glad to hear that you have not been terminated yet. In the event that they do terminate you, you may be entitled to severance dependent on whether or not the company can establish just cause. Just cause is difficult to establish, but it will be an important consideration in the event that you are terminated. Should you be terminated, we would recommend that you contact our firm. In the interim, if you would like to discuss this matter further with an employment lawyer, please contact the number below to set-up a consultation.
