Add Comment Question: My husband was dismissed this morning as he showed up for work. The manager was waiting for him with two envelopes...last week pay...and severance pay and the reason for his dismissal - refusing to work overtime on Sundays with no overtime pay..they treat Sundays as a normal pay day..my question is...can they do this?? He did not receive a letter for unemployment benefits..no warning..no notice of dismissal...this seems so unfair to me! Please help?? Answer: Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. This definitely sounds like a potential wrongful dismissal. Your husband could be entitled to significant compensation.
