Is age discrimination considered wrongful dismissal?

Thank you for your question. While age discrimination and wrongful dismissal can both occur as a result of a termination they are separate damages. If you have been terminated you would be entitled to wrongful dismissal damages. I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you would be owed if wrongfully dismissed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com).

If you were terminated as a result of your age you would be owed human rights damages in addition to wrongful dismissal damages. If you were terminated I would strongly encourage you to call us right away to speak with one of our employment lawyers.
