Add Comment Question: I was at my job for 3 years as a Pharmacy Assistant. I applied for a position as a Registered Pharmacy Technician at another company. I got hired Jan.26/2016, and then was terminated March 30/2016 with no reason. I was told that I was "not suitable " for the position and they let me go immediately. Later I called HR dept about my benefits and they told me that I did nothing wrong that they let me go due to budget cuts. Why did they hire me in the first place? Am I able to get severance pay? It seems fishy when one person says one thing and the other something different. They said they don't have to give me any reason to fire me within 3 months of being hired. What can I do? - The probationary period stated: Your employment with the company will be subject to an initial trial probationary period of 3 months ending April 26, 2016. While we expect your employment with the company to be successful, it is agreed that should the company decide to terminate your employment for any reason permitted by law during the probationary period the company will not owe you notice or pay in lieu of notice. In the event the company is unable to assess your suitability during the probationary period, the company may choose, within its discretion, to extend the probationary period for a further 3 months. During this extended probationary period , (of which you will be advised in writing) your employment may be terminated at any time without cause upon the company providing you with the minimum notice and benefit entitlement that you may have under the Ontario Employment Standard Act, 2000.
