Wrongful Dismissal & Employment Termination in Ontario
Have you been fired, suspended, or forced to leave your job? You may be entitled to severance, termination pay, and additional compensation.
Were You Wrongfully Dismissed?
In Ontario, most employees who are terminated are entitled to notice or payment in lieu of notice. Employers may claim “just cause” to avoid these obligations, but the legal threshold is very high.
In many cases, employees who are terminated for cause are still entitled to severance and termination pay.
We assist employees in reviewing their termination and pursuing compensation where an employer has not met its legal obligations.
