Yes, in most cases an employer can end your employment without cause, but they must give you proper written notice or severance pay. The length of notice depends on how long you’ve worked for the employer. In some cases, if you’re fired for misconduct, the employer may not owe you notice or pay. If you think you were wrongfully dismissed, you may need legal advice. Learn more about "If you are Fired" from People's Law School.
