I ha e been working at a Crown Corporation in the service industry in Ontario. For 2 weeks I have received extremely good re views about my work performance. I was even told by the manager that I Lear ed the job faster than anyone thought I would. The manager then expressed a desire for me to get my OLG gaming licence 2 so I could serve in the slots area. However the day I went for this licence I arrived at the specified location only to be told there was a problem and I should contact my employer. When I called my employer said my services were no longer required a d that they had emailed me and left a voicemail on my phone. I had not checked my emails before going to the course and found out it had been sent 20 mins after my last shift the day before. I could not access this particular voicemail and they did not leave a voicemail at my second contact number. When I asked what was wrong they said they couldn't tell me but then said I was late one day. I was in fact late by less than 5 min and my manager said it was not a problem. The shift I was late for was a scheduled shift but one I could take if I so wished. During my 2 weeks of employment I was not allowed to keep any tips. I have now heard from several people that my employer has done the same thing to several employees over the last few years. I feel this wrong an unjust treatment for someone who was given glowing work appraisals.
Hello,

Given your limited length of service with the company (and the possibility that your employment was subject to a probationary period), even if you were successful in a wrongful dismissal claim, your entitlements would likely be relatively minor.
That said, every case is unique and I would suggest you give our firm a call so that we can gather further specifics about your case. This will allow us to be put in a better position to fully advise you as to your rights and entitlements as assess whether your case is worthwhile pursuing.
