I'm a nurse working in a hospital. I had practice issues and I was re-instated in my pposition after an incident and after accomplishing course work and passing evaluations. After a year of work, they documented several incidents with bad practice issues, and they also documented unsatisfactory performance. I'm on paid leave and waiting for a meeting where they will decide if I'm terminated or dismissed. I want to know which rights I have and if it is right that they terminate my job or dismiss me.

It is very difficult to establish just cause for termination under the common law, especially with respect to performance issues. Given the information you have provided, it does not appear that the Hospital has just cause to terminate your employment. Therefore, if your employment is terminated, you should receive severance pay based on your age, length of service and position. Please visit the severance calculator (http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/) to determine your severance entitlements and contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail.
