Add Comment Question: What happens when you get fired without cause? Answer: Hi Rachel. Thanks for your email. Typically speaking, individuals who are fired without cause are entitled to receive termination and/or severance pay from their employers. The amount that a terminated employee is entitled to receive varies depending on a number of factors such as age, length of employment and position. If you have recently been terminated, or know someone who has, I strongly encourage you to contact Kari Jillings at our office in order to have a lawyer review your severance package.
