Document Summary

An employee resigns to pursue other interest, retires, or simple leaves at the end of a fixed- term employment contract. Just cause: employee conduct that amounts to a fundamental breach of the employment contract. Intentional, harmful conduct of the employee that permits the employer to dismiss without notice. It is important to note that what might seem to be a good reason for terminating an employee is not necessarily just case. Non-cause and near cause: what constitutes reasonable notice is to be determined in relation to factors such as age, length of service, availability of employment, and the statues of the employee. Either an employee has just cause to dismiss an employee and the employee is entitled to the full period of reasonable notice. Since an employee is not entitled to any compensation when dismissed for cause, the employee is more likely to bring a suit against the employer.
