I was dismissed first thing this morning. No warning.
They had hired back an old employee "to work along side me" on monday. I trained her. Then i was let go. Paper work that was given to me states that i was given notice on january 17 2020. I was not. Termination paperwork also states an old employees name and their termination date.
Can i do anything?

An employer has the right to terminate you at any time, without even having to provide a reason why, as long as you are terminated on a without cause basis and paid your severance entitlements. To get an estimate of what you might be owed, I have copied for you below a link to our severance pay calculator. You should not sign the termination paperwork until you have reviewed it with an employment lawyer, as most of the time the offer presented on termination falls far below what you are actually owed. Should you wish to speak with one of our employment lawyers further, please contact the number below.
