Add Comment Question: Can I sue my boss for mental damages after being fired for no real good reason Answer: Hi there, while it is possible to bring a claim against your former employer for mental distress damages, the threshold to obtain these sorts of damages is extremely high in Ontario. If your employer has exhibited particularly egregious behavior in effecting your termination - these damages will be available to you. A more common action upon dismissal is for wrongful dismissal damages. This is where your employer has not provided you with adequate notice of termination or pay in lieu thereof.
