My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. In answer to your question, note that an employer can terminate your employment for almost any reason as long as they pay you your proper severance. The amount of proper severance will depend on a variety of factors, but mainly your age, position, and length of service. The question is whether what has been paid to you is reasonable. To find out, please email me at jon.pinkus@stlawyers.ca and we can discuss your situation in more detail.
