As an employee who has been with a company for over a decade and has topped the salary cap for said position, what rights does an existing employee have when they feel they are being set up for wrongful dismissal to help improve the companies bottom line?

Generally employers in Ontario have the ability to terminate an employee at any time, without necessarily having to provide a reason why, as long as the employee is paid his or her adequate termination entitlements. If you have not yet been terminated and feel you are being mistreated, you should contact our office to schedule a consult with one of our lawyers so we can assess your matter in more detail. Further, if you have been terminated and/or were offered a severance package, you should contact us right away so a lawyer can review what has been offered to you and whether it is adequate in the circumstances.
