I may be dismissed over a number of incidents with a fellow employee which came to a head with me calling him a derogatory name. I’ve been asked to take a paid leave of absence as an investigation is being conducted. My guess is I will be fired - does my employer have just cause to fire me?

It will depend on the number and severity of the incidents, as well as other factors such as your disciplinary record and length of service. If you’ve been suspended with pay it is imperative that you speak with an employment lawyer as soon as possible. Please give us a call at the number below. We would be happy to discuss your situation with you in more detail.
