I am a dental receptionist and I was fired after two years employment at the end of the day the doctors called me i to the office and told me that production had been down for a few months and they had lost money pointing at a piece of paper on the desk and said it was all my fault. The doctor was yelling at me and I was in shock, I had just had my employee review two weeks earlier and nothing was ever said to me that they weren’t happy with my performance. I wasn’t allowed to defend myself and every time i tried he said I was lying. I felt so humiliated and degraded.They did say they were giving me three weeks pay as severance but I am now emotionally struggling to understand how they turned on me like that so harshly. I always came to work and did a good job. Can they blame all that on me? Did I get a good settlement or am I entitled to more?

My name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. Based on the information you provided, I do not believe that your employer will be able to establish just cause for termination. Therefore, you should receive severance pay. For an estimate of your severance entitlements, please visit the severance calculator (https://www.severancepaycalculator.com) and contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail.
