Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
My job has been outsourced to CGI. I have been with the company for 15 years, but was hired only 1 year ago in this position. There were 7 people in my group, 6 of us got severance and 1 person was kept with no explanation. I want to know first is my severance offer acceptable (I have sent an inquiry via the calculator) and are they allowed to lay me off after hiring me only a year ago in this position and keeping 1 person without giving anyone the opportunity to fight for the position they kept?
A company can terminate an employee at any time, for any reason, as long as that reason is not discriminatory and the employee is provided with a proper severance package. I strongly recommend that you contact a lawyer at the number below to discuss your entitlements and whether the company's offer is in line with them.
