Add Comment Question: I was hired as a director for a company in Ontario however they are a federally regulated company. I was terminated two and a half days into my probation period. I was not given adequate time to demonstrate my ability to do the job before I was terminated. I was compensated for the two and a half days of employment. I had to relocate to a new city for this position. My questions are: Is it legal to dismiss someone on probation before they have been given a chance to demonstrate their capabilities? My contract does not stipulate a notice period during my probation, but is no notice without compensation acceptable? And finally, my contract stipulates that I would get a relocation allowance unless I voluntarily left the company. Am I entitled to that money? Answer: If the contract explicitly allows the company to let you go during the notice period without notice or compensation, then there is nothing that can be done. If it does not do that, then you have recourse. Either way, you should get the moving allowance. Please give us a call.
