I had been dismissed from my work after 5 years due to confrontation with employee when I was not on duty. Is this allowed with no prior write ups or verbal?

Thank you for your question. My name is Stephen Gillman and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. I noticed you are from Peterborough, which is my hometown.

Regarding your question, off duty misconduct does not often amount to a just cause dismissal. From what you have provided, you have been wrongfully dismissed and you are owed severance.

I would be happy to provide you with a free and confidential consultation. Please contact me directly at stephen.gillman@stlawyers.ca so we can set up a time to discuss.
