What are the consequences of dismissal without notice?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from English v. Travel Centres Canada, 2013 ONSC 417 (CanLII):

I turn to the issue of consequences. Was dismissal without notice justified or was some lesser sanction appropriate? I return to McKinley v. BC Tel where Iacobucci J. wrote: Absent an analysis of the surrounding circumstances of the alleged misconduct, its level of seriousness, and the extent to which it impacted on the employment relationship, dismissal on a ground as morally disreputable as “dishonesty” might well have an overly harsh and far-reaching impact for employees. In addition, allowing termination for cause wherever an employee’s conduct can be labeled “dishonest” would further unjustly augment the power employers wield within the employment relationship.[14]
