Add Comment Question: Can you be let go without warning? My daughter was working as a Personal Support Worker for a long term care home for 3 1/2 yrs was accused of swearing in front of a resident and was let go. It was her word against another PSW they took the word of the other. She was given a letter and dismissed after 5 days of LOA while they investigated. Until that point she had perfectly clean record never any problems or write ups or warnings. Is there anything that can be done? Answer: Hi my name is Stephen Gillman and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. Thank you for your question. First, if you daughter was a union member she would need to deal directly with her union representative to resolve the matter. If she is not a union member, what you have described would amount to wrongful dismissal and she would be entitled to severance. I would encourage her to visit the severance calculator our firm has developed to see what she is owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). I would also encourage her to call us an set up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers to further discuss the matter.
