My husband was fired on July 18, 2013 from his job of 1.5 yrs but was given no reason and no reference letter. Recently, I found out that my sister (who is with Cupe National and saw his file) said his file showed that he was fired for putting his name on a client's file as his trustee. My husband, at the time, was working as a Clinical Social Worker. My husband was NEVER this client's trustee, nor was this mentioned to him EVER as to why he was fired. He is still unemployed. Can he sue for wrongful dismissal?? Can he also sue for lost potential earnings as they refuse to give him a reference??
It appears that your husband was wrongfully dismissed. The value of his damages depends on a number of factors that I will be happy to review if he calls me at 416-216-5906. Importantly, as the relevant events occurred a while back, he only has until June 2015 to pursue his legal entitlements due to limitation period rules. Lumi Pungea
