Add Comment Question: my husband was physically assaulted on the job but is still in 3 month probation when he told his employer he was let go Answer: Hello, and thank you for your question. Pursuant to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, an employer may not fire (or threaten to fire) an employee as a result of the employee attempting to exercise his right to be free from violence in the workplace. Therefore, if your husband was let go for notifying his former employer that he was physically attacked in the workplace, then he almost certainly has a valid claim against this company. Please have him contact us at the number below so that one of our staff may discuss his matter further.
