An employee of mine had sex in the washroom with a fellow employee during working hours. Is that grounds for termination of employment?

Our payroll is less than one million $. We need to eliminate an employee's position. She has been with us for 18 years. If we issue an 8-week notice period, during which we pay her regular monthly salary, and her health benefits, and pay out vacation pay at the end of the 8 weeks, is she in a legal position to sue us for more?

I was let go in November 2013 with a servant of 47000. I worked there for 14 years and my last two years of income was 87000. Would I be able to still go after them

what needs to occur to dismiss an employee of ten years due to job performance?

We had an employee that worked with us for over 15 years. She is great and very loyal. However, her computer and skills are not really up to the bar with the company current requirement. She is over 55 years old right now. In the past several years we had been paying her salary to perform a job that we can get a junoir administrator to do. Do to recent company restructure to keep up with our competitors we require to hire one or two staff with strong knowledge of computer and social media. We would like to keep that senior employee but cannot pay her the current salary anymore but can only offer her a pay that suite the current position. We were wondering if you provide her with a notice of change in employment agreement (no employment contract was signed when she was hired) with 15 weeks notice. Would that be sufficient enough?
