I buried my mom yesterday and got fired today because I was to distraught to work my shift .

My name is Stephen Gillman and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. Given what you have provided, the Company has wrongfully dismissed you and you are owed severance. If you notified the Company prior to missing the shift you may also be entitled to additional damages. I would encourage you to contract me directly so we can discuss (stephen.gillman@stlawyers.ca).
