I have been fired just for cause. I have been working with this company for 4 years. Iwent home to get married and had to extend our stay for another 3wks because of a family matter but only to realized i got fired 3 wks earlier. Does this forfeit my chance of gettin a severance entitlement????? Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your question.

My name is Chris Justice and I am a lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.

The test an employer has to meet in order to establish "just cause" is very high. As such, it is generally unlikely a company will have "just cause" unless the situation is extreme and every action has been taken before terminating someone's employment for "just cause".

Without knowing the specifics of your case, there is a good chance you could be entitled to significant compensation. I suggest giving me a call directly at 416-216-5859 l to schedule a consultation. From there I can gather more information and be in a better position to fully advise you as to your rights and entitlements.
