What does it mean to terminate someone from a job "for cause"?

It means you are terminating them for something they have done.
Usually it is something really bad - like stealing. Something that no one would have to ask twice about why that person was fired.
It differs from a layoff because then you are letting lots of people go because there isn't enough work - each individual may be a fine worker who you would rehire.
It also usually means the company will fight if they apply for Unemployment.
Hope that helps |
