Add Comment Question: I work at a big canadian company as a software developer, and I'm going to my home country for about a month. While I'm there, I was offered a fixed-time contract for around 1.5 months to work remotely (paid in home country, but will potentially be updated on LinkedIn). I'll be on vacation with my Canadian company for around 1 month. Is this legal? Will my company have grounds to fire me? Answer: Whether it is grounds for dismissal will depend on the terms of your employment contract or any company policies with respect to working a second job. That said, regardless of the terms of the contract/policies, a company can terminate you without cause as long as you are paid adequate severance pay.
