Add Comment Question: I've been a contingent worker and my contract was to end in August of 2017, I've been told my contract is ending on February 3rd, because of the lack of volume of work; however, a newer contingent worker on my team who's contract was to be ending December 2016 has been given an extension to August 2017. Also, she is training another contract worker on the work we do to join our team. So obviously there is work. Do I have a claim for wrongful dismissal? Also, when I ask for a copy of my contract with the company, the agency I am contracted out of says there isn't one. No documents the can share. Answer: You are owed reasonable notice of termination. As an employee on a fixed term contract, your employer can only let you go earlier than the termination date if there is an 'early termination provision' in the employment agreement. If your agreement does not contain an 'early termination provision' it is likely that you are entitled to significant damages for wrongful dismissal - possibly even your pay until the contract end date in August of 2017. In order to determine the full extent of your entitlements we would need more information about your employment and the agreement that you have with the agency.
