Add Comment Question: i was convicted three times for off duty offences related to my divorce. my employer fired me with just cause. do I have a case? Answer: Thank you for your question. Whether off duty conduct is just cause for dismissal will depend on the nature of your job and the nature of the convictions. If an employer can prove that the conviction interfered with your ability to perform your job, work with others, or affected the company's reputation, it could be just cause for dismissal. But every case turns on the facts. Without more information and a detailed consultation, it is not possible to give you a definitive answer. I would recommend that you contact us at the number below for a detailed consultation. Kindly note that there is a limitation period of two years from the date of your notice of termination to file any claims of wrongful dismissal.
