Employed for 1 1/2 years; signed an employment agreement stating that if I wear nail polish or acrylic nails I have to wear gloves. I was happy to do that... then it got changed to no nails and I removed my acrylic nails. The second location - 4 staff members have false nails and nail polish so I had mine done again... and brought surgical cloves to work - I was fired on the spot! I was also informed that I was under suspicion of stealing money from the till... yet I am always the one asked to do cash deposit runs and nothing was ever mentioned that anything was ever missing. Do I have a right to notice of termination / termination pay ?
Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer at the firm.
Yes, based on what you described it does sound like you are entitled to termination pay. An employer cannot establish that it had just cause for dismissal if they effectively condoned the behaviour they rely on. I would recommend that you contact us at the number below for a consultation.
