Unfortunately, most employees can be terminated for any reason, save a human rights issue. The question that becomes relevant is whether or not that employee is entitled to severance and, if so, how much. Generally, in order to pay no severance, an employer needs to have just cause, which is a very high bar to meet for an employer.
