Add Comment Question: I was terminated by email out of the blue on my day off with absolutely no reason as to why being stated, been with the company for almost 2 years. Do they owe me severance? And is it legal to terminate without stating reason? Also; how to do I go about filing for EI when no reason was given? Answer: Thank you for your question.
