I was employed by a retail company in June and worked for them just shy of me getting out of my "probation" now I was recently let go because of my smell due to my anxiety going into that same work place, I have done the usual use deodorant etc but according to my former manager it's grounds to dismiss me. What do I do?

Thank you for reaching out to our firm.

Unfortunately, an employer does not need 'grounds', per se, to dismiss someone. Generally speaking, an employee can be dismissed at any time so long as the employer provides the employee with enough notice or severance. The amount of notice or severance in a given case is dependent on several factors, not least of which being how long the employee has been employed for. As you were employed for a very short period of time, the amount of notice or severance in your case would be minimal.

That said, it also possible that terminating you as a result of a potentially diagnosed medical condition could have breached the Human Rights Code, though we would need more information from you.
