Add Comment Question: I was given a definite lay off from a company I had worked at for 6 months, I was told that I was not meeting their expectations. I had been given no warning of these concerns , never approached or given any verbal warnings. I will be receiving 1 week severance. My question is am I able to go after them for wrongful dismissal. Answer: In most cases one week of pay in lieu of notice is not sufficient and we successfully negotiate more generous severance for employees in your circumstances. We need to review the documents you signed at the time of the hire, if any, and review the details of your employment in order to determine the best course of action, so please contact us at the number below to set up a phone appointment with one of our lawyers or paralegals.
