Add Comment Question: I was terminated after I told my employer I was summoned to jury duty Answer: Thank you for your question. My name is Stephen Gillman and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. In regard to your question, you have been wrongfully dismissed and you are owed severance. Further, you may be entitled to additional damages given you were terminated for asserting a right provided to you under the Employment Standards Act. I would encourage you to email directly (stephen.gillman@stlawyers.ca) so we can set up a time to discuss.
