Add Comment Question: I have been employed for over a year. I requested a raise to be similar to the average in my field, in the city I am working in. Since requesting the raise, which has been declined, my employer has posted an ad for my position and is planning to replace me. His treatment towards me has also became very hostile, to the point that he will not even speak to me or make eye contact. If I am let go, do I have grounds for wrongful dismissal? Or if the environment continues to be this way, do I have any grounds to quit. Answer: Hi Connie. Thank you for your question and sorry to hear about your situation at work. If you are let go, you will be entitled to be paid a specific sum of money depending on a variety of factors, but most notably your age, position and tenure (which I understand to be just over a year). The existence of an employment contract may also be relevant here. If and when the time comes that you are let go, you should definitely contact a lawyer to determine whether your severance package is fair. In the event that you are not let go, and the hostile treatment continues, you may eventually have grounds to resign and claim for wrongful dismissal. Before resigning, I would strongly recommend that you seek legal advice. In the meantime, start keeping a written record of the treatment, and consider writing to your employer to complain about the treatment.
