Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
My employer dismissed me because, as a supervisor, I did not report a female who told me she was made to feel uncomfortable by another supervisor. She never said I was sexually harassing her. The employer refused to say the reason for my dismissal later the same day. I think someone tried to serve me papers but my roommate was home and they did not give him any package.
Should I cash my severance pay? Does that imply I agree with anything. I literally have no savings to live off of.
You should feel free to cash and use the pay that was provided to you. The only way in which you can be stopped from pursuing your employer for wrongful dismissal is if you signed a release or if it's been two years since your termination. I strongly recommend you contact an employment lawyer at the number below to discuss your potential entitlements.
