Legal Considerations
In cases like these, where an employee's actions create controversy and lead to termination, legal considerations come into play. Lia Moody, a managing partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP specializing in employment law, explains that such terminations usually fall into the "without cause" category. This means that an employer can legally fire an employee without cause, as long as it is not discriminatory and appropriate severance is provided.
Moody further highlights that firing an employee with cause requires a high standard of proof for the employer. In such instances, the employer is not obligated to provide severance. However, the burden of proof lies with the employer to demonstrate just cause for termination.
