Add Comment Question: I am the senior person in our department with 16.5 yrs. The new director has hired 5 new young staff in the past six months to do the same type of job as I do. I was terminated today. my age is 59. I suspect this is age discrimination and wrongfull dismissal. I work in computer technology for a multinational company. Answer: Based on your age, length of service and senior position, you are likely entitled to significant severance entitlements. If even 1% of the reason you were terminated was due to your age, you may be entitled to additional human rights damages based on the employer's discrimination in employment. You should contact the number below to speak with one of our employment lawyers so we can review your matter further and better assess your termination entitlements.
