can my employer fire me because of behavior outside of work? I passed managers driving home on a road and didn't stop at the rail road stop sign. It was off company property and I was just being dumb. I sped past them probably doing 80kms on a dirt road and did not stop at the stop sign. My employer has discipline rules, first one is a verbal warning, second is 1 day off, 3rd one is 3 days off and finally 5 days off. If more infractions occur, then you are fired. I have not received a notice of 5 days off and this incident occurred outside of work property
That would not be cause for termination, which means that you are owed severance. The amount of severance is based on the length if your employment, your age and the type of job that you had. Please call me to discuss.
