I have a question. When you are defending yourself in a firing for cause, does the onus fall on the employer to prove the employee guitly ? What I am saying is, is it like a court of law where the defendant is innocent till proven guilty ?

Thanks for the question. The onus (or responsibility) of proving cause for dismissal of an employee lies with the employer. If you have been terminated for cause, it is extremely important that you give us a call at the number below to set up a confidential consultation with one of our lawyers.
