I believe i was fired due the fact I have epilepsy. How can I prove it? What can I do?
Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.
There may be a variety of ways that it can be proven that your firing was linked to your disability, which would be a human rights violation. We will only be able to advise on this point once we have had a more in depth consultation with you to discuss the circumstances in more detail.
However, you should also consider whether the severance package provided to you was adequate. Compensation for inadequate severance can be very significant, so this is usually the first question to ask. Please visit www.severancepaycalculator.com, and if the severance package that you have been provided with is inadequate, please give us a call.
