Eg. violence in workplace, theft, something serious, etc. Wrongful dismissal contract - person sues their employer . Without cause (i don"t really have a good reason to fire you but i still don"t want you. I owe you money but you are never working here again) Pay in lieu of notice (give something of value) People out of job market for a long time, they are going to have a harder time.
