Can we fire an employee without a reason?

Unless you operate as a federally regulated company (Government of Canada,Armed Forces, Banks (Not including Credit Unions),Trucking that goes across BC's border,Federal Crown Corporations, Airlines and Railways (except BC Rail) Television, Telephone, Radio and Cablevision Marine Shipping, Longshoring, Grain elevators) you don't need to consider the Canadian Employment Standards Act. If this is a unionized workplace, the collective agreement might have stipulations that you need to follow. If not, the BC Employment Standards Act applies. Check the website :

Just make sure that you have documented everything. If this is a behaviour issue that has been condoned for years without any discipline, GOOD LUCK!!

If you've got an employment contract that has a stipulated notice period, you can pay the employee the wages for the notice period.

If the contract doesn't have a notice period, then you would have to pay for the remaining duration of the contract.

Some firms use appointment letters instead of employment contracts and in that case the employee can be fired depending on the provisions made in the appointment letter.

Is it a him or a her? Are you making this up? Looking for answers to a hypothetical question are we?

If I am guilty of an act but deny my participation in that act, does that mean the matter should be forgotten?

If its an act worth getting fired for, then it does not matter if I own up to it, I should be fired and I know it.

Fire him/her today. Now.

Otherwise I'd love to come work for you (and get away with doing whatever I want) . You're an easy mark. Naive even. At least that's what he/she must think.

Yes you have reason! You've given warnings, and performance is still substandard. Just call a lawyer to make sure all the t's are crossed!

As the manager, it should be the decision of your boss. Give your boss all the info with your suggestions. This will take YOU off the hook if this employee sues the company.

Because, if they are going to sue, they will sue absolutely everyone!

I'm not sure if this applies to all states or Canada but unless you have a contract with an employee they are an "at will employee." Which means they can be let go for no reason except discrimination.

maximum states have what's termed "at-will employment," which signifies that until eventually there's a particular employment settlement or union protections which state in the different case, your organization in the adventure that they need to can terminate you for (in basic terms about) any reason or no reason in any respect except they need to. What they could't do is hearth you for a discriminatory reason like race, faith or incapacity, and they could't hearth you in retaliation for workout consultation criminal rights like complaining about safe practices or some thing like that. in case you've self assurance some thing wrongful like it really is the real rationalization for your termination, you've the burden to coach it.

Sounds like you have a reason. Not sure how you state law is written but you need to start documenting the errors.

You need to contact your Department of Labor or your Labor Board and tell them your situation.
