The plaintiff, a Health, Safety and Training Manager, was terminated for cause by her employer after 13 years of service.
The termination stemmed from her handling of her own workplace safety and insurance claim, including delayed reporting, inconsistencies, and a conflict of interest.
The court found the employee's conduct, including dishonesty and suborning a lower-level employee, constituted just cause for dismissal.
The employee's claim for wrongful dismissal and punitive damages was dismissed.
The employer's counterclaim for an unpaid loan was also dismissed, as the loan was held by a separate numbered company, not the employer.
