My husband got an wrongful dismmisal regarding of safety in June. Also, I fired because my husband fired and we needed to leave together. I had no issue and I was working as an assistant manager My husband didn't refuse to serve the customers for filling up the propane gas. He asked to get a certificate of propane handling because he has no knowledge of any dangerous situation. He only know a little bit how to fill up. Nobody has the certificate for propane handling. However, the owner/GM refused and he fired us together. It is located in very small town from Edmonton. Population is about 3000 around. From Edmonton, it takes 8 hours. Honestly, we moved from BC to this small town. We spent a lot of money for moving. The owner/GM supposed my husband get the certificate of propane, because he said so at first we met. But he didn't keep that promise.
Anyway, we moved from AB to Ontario because more jobs, more opportunities. We have two kids. Very struggling moment when we moved out of that town to ontario.
We'd like to Sue on him because he doesn't keep the safety. He said it is okay, it's not dangerous. But he fired us because my husband asked to get the certificate. What should we do?
Hello,
Thank you for your enquiry.
In answer to your situation, if the two of you have been terminated, it is likely you are both owed severance. While the company may have provided you with some compensation, it is also likely that you are owed more compensation than what you have been provided. Furthermore, depending on the further specifics of your case (including you moving long distances for the work), you could be owed additional damages.
I recommend you contact our firm to schedule a consultation. From there we can gather more information and be in a better position to properly advise you both as to your rights and entitlements!
