my son was a full time employee for Walmart Canada. Yesterday he went in for his shift and went on his first break and then was fired with no reason or explanation. \They are offering him a 897 dollar severance for almost 3 years of employment. Can a company fire for no reason and would he be entitled to more of a severeance. would he have a case if pursured?

While the company can fire its employees for any reason, however arbitrary, it owes them adequate notice or pay in lieu of notice. Your son may be owed up to three months of pay in lieu of notice unless he signed a contract that limits his termination entitlements to the minimum standards. Very few contracts contain enforceable termination clauses so feel free to encourage your son to give us a call and have his documents and entitlements reviewed by one of our lawyers.
