Does the United Church have the right to fire employees (a minister) if they wish? This assumes that the Church follows proper accepted procedures. If not, a wrongful dismissal suit woul be justified. No firm is obligated to employ people that they no longer wish to employ? Correct? Thank you

The United Church is able to fire or terminate an employee. If they do so, the Church has an obligation to pay severance. I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what would be owed if terminated (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). If you have been terminated I would strongly encourage you to contact us right away and book a consultation with one of our employment lawyers.
