Canadian employment law allows employees to claim wrongful dismissal if an employer unjustly terminates the employee without notice of termination or compensation. In Canada, an employer can terminate an employee without just cause as long as the employee is given proper notice of termination or full compensation/severance.
Employee's cannot be terminated for just cause without extraordinarily XXXXXX serious misconduct. That seldom exists. What is usually disputed on termination cases is the amount of severance that is required. The Employment Standards Act or Canada Labour Code provides for minimum notice periods but there are a wide range of factors that can go into what an employee should actually receive.
If you have been wrongfully dismissed you are entitled to compensation from your former employer.
