Add Comment Question: If I fired someone, who worked for me 10 years, under wrong just cause. However, he did not try to look for a new job to mitigate his loss for 6 months. after that he got a job which salary is lower than before, how should we pay. Answer: Thank you for your question. Just cause dismissal and employee mitigation after dismissal necessitate a fact driven analysis. There are a number of important considerations which would require additional information in order to fully answer your question. Please call us and set up a free and confidential consultation with one of our employment lawyers who will be able to further discuss this matter with you. I would also encourage you to use the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what your former employee is owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com).
