Add Comment Question: After almost 8 years part-time work with average monthly earnings of about $1000. 00 I was fired with absolutely no warning and based on exaggerated accusations. Would filing a wrongful dismissal in small claims court for $5000.00 be naive. Answer: While filing in small claims could be a potential option, there may be other methods to settle your case early and without the need for litigation. As for the $5,000.00 you have mentioned, I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you are owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). Further, I would encourage you to set up a free and confidential appointment with one of our employment lawyers so that we can fully assess your entitlements.
