I was let go from my employer and told it was due to budget cuts.Two days later they have posted an employment ad up for a position that has the same duties as mine did. Does this count for grounds of wrongful dismissal?

They can do that, so long as they pay you full severance. Please give us a call to discuss what you are owed in this situation.

I worked there since 2011 and they gave me 2 weeks pay but I'm pretty sure that's not severance.

They owe you much more than that, unless you signed an agreement that limits the amount of severance that you get. Give me a call and we can go over this. Lior Samfiru
