Add Comment Question: I just started employment with a company in January 2016 I gave up a full time permanent position to start here they just dismissed me not even two months in is there anything that I can do ?there was no cause or reason given. I signed an employee contract stating that I had a probationary period of six months Answer: Thanks for the question. You may be owed a significant amount of severance depending on the circumstances of your hiring and termination, including whether you were induced to change employer, the reason for your termination, your age, your position, and whether your employment contract limits your termination entitlements in any way. It's extremely important in the circumstances that you get legal advice from an experienced employment lawyer. Feel free to give us a call at the number below to set up a confidential consultation.
