My husband worked in a call centre for a major financial institution for over 8 years. Due to something he did that was against company policy and positively impacted his sales targets he was let go. He admitted that his superiors had known this had been happening for a long time but just recently they decided to do something about it. My concern is that before he was let go, he was never given any verbal or written warnings of suspensions or firing. Also he never had any meetings with his manager to talk about this. There was just the one meeting with the GM and HR and then he was sent home with pay for 1 week and then the following week had the in person meeting with HR where they terminated him with about 7 months serverance. Is he able to dispute the firing? Can he get more severance. He is in his mid-thirties and was a permanent employee with no contract.

He cannot dispute the firing. The company is allowed to let him go for any reason, so long as they pay him his full severance. To see how much he is owed, use the Severance Calculator: www.severancepaycalculator.com
