Add Comment Question: I was let go from my employer and told it was due to budget cuts.Two days later they have posted an employment ad up for a position that has the same duties as mine did. Does this count for grounds of wrongful dismissal? Answer: They can do that, so long as they pay you full severance. Please give us a call to discuss what you are owed in this situation. Comment: I worked there since 2011 and they gave me 2 weeks pay but I'm pretty sure that's not severance.
