I was terminated for breaking policy and procedure. As I was entering the building I threw my cigarette off to the side where a fire later resulted. The company was aware of employees smoking this close to the building, and even put a cigarette but can in that same area. They also allow smoking in an area that is not 30 feet from a door. They have a video of me throwing my cigarette butt, who is to say that it was mine that caused the fire as there is unseen area on the security camera.

Based on what you have told me, the company likely does not have just cause to terminate your employment. Therefore, you may be entitled to a significant severance package. Please contact our firm to discuss this matter further and determine how we can assist you.
