The plaintiff, a senior manager at an accounting firm, was terminated for cause following allegations of improper expense claims.
The court found that while the plaintiff had previously been reprimanded for defacing receipts, his subsequent conduct did not involve concealment and did not justify termination without notice.
The court awarded 10 months' reasonable notice and outstanding bonuses.
However, the court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for overtime pay under the Employment Standards Act, finding that his role was supervisory and managerial in character, thus exempting him from overtime entitlements.
