Generally an employer can terminate an employee on a 'without cause' basis such that they pay you your severance entitlements. To terminate an employee for 'cause' without paying any severance is a very high threshold for an employer to meet, and by the sounds of it this scenario would not amount to cause. You should contact the number below to schedule a consult with one of our lawyers so we can more thoroughly review your matter and assess your entitlements.
