Add Comment Question: If an employee is terminated with cause, can we terminate his benefits immediately? Answer: Thank you for your question. If you have cause to terminate an employee, you have no further obligations to him/her, including benefit continuation. However, I would strongly recommend that you speak to a lawyer prior to terminating an employee for cause (without even his/her minimum entitlements under the Ontario Employment Standards Act), as there is a very high threshold that an employer must meet in order to do so legally.
