so if the company had a rule you are not allowed to swear at anyone and may be summarily fired it would be ok? What are the requirements of process?


It all hangs on "reasonableness" for which there is no legal definition. Generally if there is no lasting harm (like setting fire to the office) then there is a process like a three strikes rule in which the employee is given a chance to mend their ways (like not swearing).
