Q&A: Termination rights for probationary employees

Does an employee have any rights when terminated within the probation period (of 3 months)? This was done after a performance improvement plan was created with warning to employee. The worker was also paid off for 8 weeks with no notice of termination.

The need for clear warning before dismissal

I have often discussed the need for warnings in the context of summary dismissal. While some situations will justify dismissal based upon a single incident, in many cases our courts and arbitrators will require progressive discipline. Whatever the steps may be, it is critical that the messaging to the subject employee be clear: the conduct or behavior is unacceptable, and further instances will lead to discipline, which can include termination for cause.
