I was terminated with cause (dishonesty ) , they accused me of smoking a cigarette in an office that i have access to via scan card(I am a smoker), they informed me that they have proof of me going into the office but they do not have any proof of me actually smoking in the office except for a smell of smoke in the office , After 2 weeks of investigation they called me on the phone and informed me that i was terminated for dishonesty due to the fact i was being dishonest during the investigation that they have no actual proof of myself smoking , they have proof via cctv of me going into the office but actual proof of me smoking . Do I have cause to sue for unlawful dismissal? fyi since i was terminated with cause and i was told by Hr that i am not getting any severance
