Add Comment Question: Does the United Church have the right to fire employees (a minister) if they wish? This assumes that the Church follows proper accepted procedures. If not, a wrongful dismissal suit woul be justified. No firm is obligated to employ people that they no longer wish to employ? Correct? Thank you Answer: The United Church is able to fire or terminate an employee. If they do so, the Church has an obligation to pay severance. I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what would be owed if terminated (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). If you have been terminated I would strongly encourage you to contact us right away and book a consultation with one of our employment lawyers.
