Add Comment Question: Can I be fired with just cause and not receive severance pay for a job I've performed in Ontario Canada for the past 35 years? Answer: Hi Jason, Thank you for your question. To answer your question in short, yes. However, the test that an employer is required to meet before it can establish "just cause" is a very high one and only likely in the most extreme cases (especially those involving employees with 35 years of service). If you have been terminated after 35 years for "cause" I would highly recommend you call our firm to book a free consultation. You may be entitled to upwards of 2 years of compensation or more.
