Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
A new employee was hired recently and we did not get along. I was the manager and he would not listen to me at all. I voiced my opinions several times and pointed out the issues between us to my employer. It came to a head and I told my employer what was going on. I was told to leave early and we'd talk the next day. The next day when they came in, I was dismissed. Reason given me was "Gross misconduct". I had done an oil change on my wife's car and not yet paid for it. They claim I "Stole" from the company. Can they just let me go like that without warning? Oh, This happened one day from the 3 month hiring date.
I recommend that you contact our office to schedule a consult with one of our employment lawyers to better assess your matter. In short, being able to terminate an employee for just cause is a high threshold for an employer to meet and based on the facts above it is unlikely there are grounds for cause. However, employers can terminate you at any time on a without cause basis as long as you are paid your entitlements. What your entitlements may be here might depend on whether you had an enforceable probationary clause in your contract, which one of our lawyers would need to assess.
