My boyfriend and I have been working at Arby’s for a while. I have been there for over two years and my boyfriend has been there for eight months. Upon his hiring, the boss knew we were together. He told us that it is not working out because he feels my boyfriend is distracting me from my work as he’s heard from other employees and therefore is firing him. Is that allowed? Is that even a reason to dismiss someone? And why weren’t we given a warning before he fired my boyfriend? Also, the same people accusing me for not reaching my potential do the exact same thing and talk to each other, distracting themselves. How is that fair?
Your boyfriend would have been wrongfully dismissed only if he was not offered proper notice or severance. Use our Ontario Severance Pay Calculator (www.severancepaycalculator.com) to find out how much he may be owed, and give us a call at the number below to discuss your situation in more detail.
