My employer is threatening to fire me for cause on a regular basis. I have not been given written notices for improvement. I have been working for the same person for 17.5 years. Should my employer fire me for "cause" would I be entitled to severance? If so, how much would I be entitled to. If my employer doesn't give me severance, can I sue my employer?

It is extremely difficult for an employer to fire a long-service employee like you for cause and avoid its obligation to pay an adequate termination package. Do not get intimidated by those threats and if/when your employment is terminated, contact me for a free consultation at 416-216-5906. Lumi Pungea
