Hey, I really hope you can help. I have no idea what to do. Okay so I've been working at logistics in motion for almost a year( just alittle bit short) they terminated me for absenteeism. Because I've been going through a lot of issues. I've been off for a little over a month but I have a doctor's note saying that it was okay. I even had them( my doctor) fill out a form of medical documentation or something like that. I was told it was okay to return to work and then I got physically sick. I think with a flu or something along those lines. I called in for 2 more days with intention of returning when all of a sudden I got an email of notice of termination. What should I do? Do I have a case of wrongful dismissal or was it justified ? Thank you so much for taking the time to help me it's greatly appreciated.
Hello,
Generally an employer may terminate you at anytime so long as it is on a 'without cause' basis and they pay you your proper termination entitlements. However, in your case, the circumstances surrounding your termination definitely sound suspicious and there may be grounds for a human rights claim. You should contact our office to set up a consult with one of our lawyers to assess your matter further and to see whether your employer has offered you an adequate termination package.
