Add Comment Question: is severence pay owed to me if I am terminated for cause? Answer: Thank you for contacting our firm. If an employee has been terminated for cause, they may not entitled to notice or severance. However, the level of cause is important as there is a difference between what we call "common law" cause and cause under the Employment Standards Act. The level of cause could impact whether or not you may still have an entitlement to notice/severance. We would need more information on the circumstances to advise you further.
