Add Comment Question: After working two months with an employer, with a contract, I was let go with no notice. I was praised for my excellent work and was told that they simply "couldn't afford me". Less than three mo the later they have hired an employee with the same title at the same rate of pay. While I was employed a new owner, the one who fired me, said that "women don't know how to run a restaurant". I am female and was on the management team. Answer: Not only are you likely entitled to severance pay, but the employer also appears to have violated your right under the Ontario Human Rights Code to be free from discrimination on the basis of sex.
