Add Comment Question: Is it legs to fire someone under contract because they have a criminal record when a record check was not required for the position. Am I entitled to my full contract payments? Answer: The law in Ontario is such that an employer can terminate an employee for any reason as long as its not discriminatory and they provide them with their legal entitlements upon termination. You may be entitled to the full payment of your contract depending on what the contract says and whether it has a termination clause.
