I've worked at several places in Alberta. Seen a lot of people fired and laid off. Never once did an employer give any notice. Most times people were escorted off the property, immediately. So I think you're dead wrong about that. Why would an employer want someone around for a couple more weeks after they were just told that they were terminated? Opportunity to sabotage. Severance is paid in lieu of notice when employees are laid off, but no severance is required if someone is fired for doing something wrong.
