I have a friend that has been with a company for almost 4 years and she was dating another senior employee and because of personal life changes it didn't work out and she has moved on and as soon as the ex found out she complained to her owner and she walked into to work and the owner stopped her at the door said to her she was no longer able to work there because of personal conflict grabbed her stuff and said he would pay her for 4 weeks, is this considered wrongful dismissal ?

Hi Christine. Thank you for your question. An employee can be terminated for any reason whatsoever as long as that reason is not discriminatory and as long as the employer pays appropriate severance. Depending on your friend's position with the company, and whether or not she has any employment contract with them, she could be entitled to quite a bit more than the 4 weeks she received. I have cc'd Kari Jillings on this email who will be in touch regarding a consultation with a lawyer.
