I have worked at my hotel bar in Ontario, Canada for over two years. One day I was brought into the office and told that I was being "terminated" from my position as bartender. The reason that they stated was that it was "simply a business decision". I was paid a severence and the rest of my time was paid out, but my termination ended that day.
I was never written up or recorded to have had any infractions against myself. Was my employer legally able to do this?

Thank you for reaching out to our firm.

Unfortunately, yes. An employer can terminate an employee at any time subject to the requirement to provide notice or pay severance.
