grounds for termination

By Stringer LLP | 3 Minutes Read September 9, 2014

If it looks like theft and quacks like theft…the employer may still pay!

While employee theft is frequently grounds for termination, shades of grey do appear in the case law.  In a recent case, the Ontario Superior Court enforced a settlement agreement in a wrongful dismissal action even though an employee had not told her employer of a loan she had taken from a social committee without permission.

Big brother contestants – rightfully terminated?

The CBS reality show Big Brother recently made headlines when two of its female contestants were fired from their jobs back home due to racist and homophobic comments made towards fellow contestants. Because the contestants have no contact with the outside world while on the show, neither person is aware that they have been fired or that their workplaces have spoken to the media about their terminations.
