Add Comment Question: I was dismissed with no notice and they emailed my common law spouse, they didn't personally tell me. On my roe the reason they put is that "spouse who also worked for the same company was also working with similar company which is a conflict of interest". My spouse is not working at a conflict of interest as he is unemployed right now as well, thanks to them. Can I do anything about this? Answer: Absolutely. You have been wrongfully dismissed and are entitled to severance pay. Please contact our firm to discuss this matter further and determine how we can assist you.
