Add Comment Question: Myself and a coworker were fired during our 3 month probation period over numbers (which weren’t bad) at a Bell corporate sales job. They fired us and kept one guy who is also on his probation period but has been written up two times. They kept him because his numbers were great. Do we have a case? Answer: My name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. Your employer was permitted to terminate your employment and keep another employee regardless of job performance; it is an employer's prerogative to make hiring and firing decisions. However, even though your employment was terminated during the probationary period, you still may be entitled to severance pay. Please contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail and determine how we can assist you.
