Can I get fired because my organization found out I grew up in a poor and bad area? and even though I have nothing what so ever to do with the bad guys that still live in the area, and never did. I left for a better life but it seems to be an issue. I do not think its right that even though I left as soon as I got old enough for an education and a better life that I should be persecuted for having been raised there. What is my legal recourse?
You should not have been fired due to where you grew up. If this did occur, it would amount to a wrongful dismissal and possibly a violation of your rights under applicable human rights legislation. Please contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail and visit the severance pay calculator to determine how much termination pay you may be entitled to (http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/).
