Jamie, age 45, was employed as Communications Director at aGrowTech Inc., a mid-sized agri-tech company based in Alberta. Jamie had worked at the company for nearly a decade and was consistently rated as a top performer with no prior disciplinary or performance issues. During a quarterly audit of employee device usage, aGrowTech’s IT department discovered that Jamie had been using the company’s email and laptop both during and after work hours to coordinate freelance graphic design services. These services were provided to a handful of small eco-focused businesses and non-profits in the region. Some of the clients Jamie worked with had overlapping environmental messaging with aGrowTech’s brand campaigns, but there was no indication that Jamie had shared confidential company strategies or data, or that the freelance work had affected job performance. Nevertheless, aGrow Tech’s Chief Operating Officer deemed this behaviour a conflict of interest and a violation of company policy. Jamie was dismissed for cause. Jamie’s written contract included a termination clause promising 8 months severance for termination without cause. The agreement was silent on outside business activities and confidential business information. Jamie maintains that the side gig was not in direct competition with aGrowTech, did not interfere with job duties, and was performed almost exclusively outside of core working hours. Jamie also claims that the company’s retrieval of data from their laptop was overly invasive and potentially breached privacy expectations. Based on what you have learned in this course, analyze whether Jamie’s termination for cause was justified under Alberta employment law. What key Facts, Issues, and Rules are at play? Remember to consider both sides in your response.
