I quit a long term job to start what I was expecting to be a new long term new job. After almost 4 months I was told business is not doing well and financially the company couldn't afford to keep me. I was given 6 weeks working notice - am I entitled to anything else?

Thank you for your question.

It certainly sounds like you have been wrongfully dismissed. You are likely entitled to significantly more than you have been offered, particularly if you have been recruited. The law recognizes that employees who have been recruited from stable long-term jobs are entitled to a severance package that recognizes their previous years of service. If you were in fact recruited from a long-term position, six weeks would be highly inadequate.

For that reason I would strongly encourage you to contact us at the number below for a free consultation with one of our lawyers.
