Add Comment Question: I was terminated for breaking policy and procedure. As I was entering the building I threw my cigarette off to the side where a fire later resulted. The company was aware of employees smoking this close to the building, and even put a cigarette but can in that same area. They also allow smoking in an area that is not 30 feet from a door. They have a video of me throwing my cigarette butt, who is to say that it was mine that caused the fire as there is unseen area on the security camera. Answer: Based on what you have told me, the company likely does not have just cause to terminate your employment. Therefore, you may be entitled to a significant severance package.
