Add Comment Question: Dismissals are supposed to be done by notice (letter) conversation. Is voicemail a way way to let someone go without any warning. Pack you thinks, do not take them with you, return all of your keys, do not return to this office or do not enter this building again. And there is so much more. Answer: Hi my name is Stephen Gillman and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. You can dismiss an employee at anytime and for any reason. That said, you will need to provide the employee with appropriate notice. To get a sense of what your employee may be owed I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). I would also encourage you to contact me directly at Stephen.gillman@stlawyers.ca. I would be happy to provide you with a free and confidential consultation so we can discuss this matter further.
