Termination process

Employers can dismiss workers at will and without any prior notice due to force majeure (unfavorable circumstances beyond the employer’s control) or an act of serious misconduct, such as theft, fraud, indiscipline, or a felony conviction.

An employer is required to pay wages in lieu of notice if the employee isn’t notified accordingly as required.
