I am sorry to hear about your layoff. Given that your employer laid you off without your prior agreement, you are able to treat this as a wrongful dismissal and you are owed severance. To get a sense of what you are owed, I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm was developed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). I would also encourage you to call us directly and book a consultation with one of our employment lawyers.
