Experienced Wrongful Dismissal Lawyer
In Ontario, a wrongful dismissal generally refers to an employer’s failure to provide proper notice of termination, or appropriate severance pay.
In our experience, employers will sometimes attempt to justify an employee’s dismissal as due to “downsizing” or “business restructuring,” or state that the position is no longer available. However, employment law in Ontario makes it very clear that employees have legal rights that their employers must respect, including providing a fair severance package based on the employee’s unique circumstances.
When Does a Wrongful Dismissal Occur?
A wrongful dismissal usually involves: (i) termination with serious misconduct (cause for termination), or (ii) termination without being first given advance notice of termination (without cause termination).
In either case, it is important to know that any employee terminated without cause is entitled to a reasonable notice of dismissal, or pay in lieu of notice (a severance package).
What is a Wrongfully Dismissed Employee Entitled to in Ontario?
If an employer has no valid reason to terminate the employee “on the spot” (what we call “just cause”), they are entitled to “reasonable” notice of termination. But exactly how much depends on each employee’s case.
The factors the courts consider in determining an employee’s wrongful dismissal severance vary on a case-by-case basis, but typically include the employee’s age, experience, length of service, training and qualification, and various others. That’s why hiring a wrongful dismissal lawyer is important to understand your employee rights and options.
Since each employee’s case is different, you need an employment lawyer experienced in wrongful dismissal negotiations and litigation, to ensure you are aware of your legal rights and help you get the settlement you deserve.
