Termination procedures in Canada can be complex. In Canada, an employer cannot fire an employee at will except after the end of a probationary period, and termination must be justified.
Eligible termination methods include:
Employee voluntary
Mutual agreement
The employer terminates unilaterally if:
Probation period
Material breach of the terms of this Agreement
misbehavior
Employee bankruptcy
The employee refuses to perform the job duties assigned by the agreement
Expiration of contract
