During the probationary period, the employment relationship may be terminated without notice.
The employer may otherwise terminate the employment relationship by just cause or for economic reasons. Just cause includes an employee’s gross misconduct, tardiness, insubordination and consistent failure to comply with work policies. If an employer terminates the employment relationship due to just cause, they must abide by the disciplinary procedures as dictated by the labour code. An employee is entitled to prior notice of termination, except where the employment relationship is terminated for gross misconduct.
