Problem
Ontario lawyers Sheryl Smolkin and Arleen Huggins have comprised a list of what they believe are the most common questions that clients ask employment lawyers. Answer all ten of these questions, providing the legal reasoning for your response from your knowledge of Employment Law. Assume that each situation refers to a non-union employee in a provincially regulated industry in the Province of Ontario.
1. How many warnings must I get before I can be dismissed 'for cause'?
2. Can I be dismissed for cause if I fail to meet mutually agreed upon sales targets?
3. Can I be dismissed for cause if I am off work for an extended period due to illness?
4. Must my employer give me my old job when I return from maternity or parental leave?
5. Can my employer dismiss me with no reason?
6. Can my employer dismiss me with no reason if I am a unionized employee?
