Add Comment Question: Can an employer dismiss an employee without a reason for dismissing her/him? Answer: Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. It is true that an employer can dismiss any employee without any reason, but the question is whether an appropriate severance package has been paid. Often severance packages are grossly inadequate, in some cases by tens of thousands of dollars. If you would like to discuss this matter in more detail, please send me an email at jon.pinkus@stlawyers.ca and I would be pleased to assist.
