Add Comment Question: I had a new job for six weeks or so. I had backed a company work truck into a car at a dealership while I was being screamed at by a higher up, they owners of the company said things happen and let it go. A few weeks later I accidentally banged up a company truck trying to get it out of the garage, I was told I wasn't being fired, however I was fired two days later after a coworker smashed and broke the company truck he was driving. This is not his first incident and I was under the impression he was being fired also. He is a friend of the owners and was not let go. When I was being fired I was told that I was new and shouldn't have been driving, however they were aware of my driving and never told me not to (a supervisor told me to drive and I just continued driving). My question is, after being told I wasn't being fired, can they just change their minds and fire me? Answer: Hi there, in Ontario you can be terminated from your employment at any time for any reason (provided it is not discriminatory). Accordingly, in answer to your question, your employer can change their mind and terminate you after advising that they would not be doing so. The only obligation of your employer upon terminating your employment is to provide you with adequate notice of termination or pay in lieu thereof. To determine your entitlements to notice or pay in lieu thereof please contact our firm at the number below to set up your free consultation.
