    “for any reason, without notice” is a part of at-will. That’s illegal here. So I don’t think it’s the same.

      If you fire someone without notice or cause in Canada, what’s the punishment?

      In the US, it’s having to continue to pay them 60% of their salary without them having to actually work, and they don’t even have to take you to court. They can just file for unemployment.

        They have to pay a full severance package.

        But there are loopholes of course and ways to potentially avoid that.
