I am a professional working for an aviation company for 10 and half years non union. Can I get legally terminated for poor performance? If so, what amount of severance am I entitled to? Can I also fight for retirement flight benefit since I have less than a year from my retirement date. I am planning to stay at the company until the retirement date, I am worried if I get terminated, I loose all those benefits.

We would have to review your contract of employment, along with the disciplines, if any, you have received with respect to your employment. Please contact our office for a consultation to discuss the specifics of your situation. Employees can be terminated without cause, by being provided notice or payment in lieu of notice of termination. Cause for termination of an employee without notice has a very high threshold for the employer to meet.
