If an employer tries to allege "cause" such that they don't pay you anything upon your termination, they have quite a high threshold to meet to prove this. If this was your first incident in the workplace it is very unlikely they would have grounds to terminate you for cause, and your termination entitlements would be dependent on several factors, which can be assessed by one of our paralegals or lawyers. I highly recommend you contact our office to schedule a consult. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
