Add Comment Question: If I am working full time for an employer 40+ hours a week then without warning my employer makes me stay home a whole week without pay. Is that considered wrongful dismissal Answer: If it is only 1 week and then the employer called you back to work, there is probably not much that you can do about it. If the employer had not called you back, then it would be a wrongful dismissal. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
