Add Comment Question: Is it right to fire an employee of she had a car accident and her child got lost that's why she didn't able to show up for her work place? Answer: No it is not right to fire that employee. Based on your question, that employee would be wrongfully dismissed and is owed severance. I would encourage that employee to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what he/she is owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). I would also encourage that employee to call us an set up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers.
