Add Comment Question: I was terminated to my job im almost 3years ijust wandering if im qualified to claim EI? I was terminated cause of absentism thank you Answer: Hello, If you have been terminated on a just cause basis I highly recommend that you contact our firm to asses your matter to determine whether your employer has valid claims for cause such that are not required to pay you severance. Further, if you are terminated for cause you generally will not be entitled to receive EI benefits.
