Can I be fired for displaying disrespect due to body language and tone of voice? I have never insulted anyone verbally and in writing. I was served a warning letter and was put on "probation" for 1.5 months. Recently I had a meeting with my supervisor and she verbally (not yet in writing) said that she has seen improvement. I had told her that I do not agree with the allegations and I wanted to reserve my right to seek legal advice.
1) can I be dismissed with cause on the ground of being disrespectful and unsupportive as displayed by my body language and tone of voice?
2) can I be dismissed with cause if I don't agree with their allegations?
The company or organization can end your employment at any time and for any reason, however arbitrary, as long as they give you adequate notice or pay in lieu thereof. Cause is very difficult to establish by the employer so if you do receive a termination letter please call us to discuss your entitlements and next steps.
