Insubordination
In order to successfully establish just cause for dismissal on the basis of insubordination, the employer must prove the following:
- the order must be clear and specific;
- the order must be both reasonable and lawful;
- the order must be within the scope of the employee's duties and responsibilities;
- the act of disobedience must be intentional; and
- the order in question must be serious or important in nature.
In most cases, a single act of insubordination will not justify termination for just cause without notice & without compensation.
