Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
I am likely going to be fired for breach of trust. What rights do I have? What can I ask and obtain as part of my exit? I've worked here for 15 years and my personnel record is clean.
The answer depends on the validity of the allegations and the specifics. "Breach of trust" is a very broad and vague term and some employers use it as a catch-all category meant to intimidate or deter the employee from challenging their dismissal. If the allegations do not hold up then you are entitled to a severance package commensurate with your length of service and other factors, likely more than one year's pay.
