Add Comment Question: During a temporary layoff can i be terminated without cause, without being recalled? Does this justify wrongful dismissal? Answer: If you're placed on a layoff and not recalled, the layoff becomes a termination and as such you are owed severance. If you are not provided with proper severance, you have an action for wrongful dismissal. Please use our severance calculator to determine your entitlements and then give us a call to discuss your matter. We' be pleased to assist you.
