I was let go from my Marketing Specialist job for failing to have the proper skills needed for the position. However, they changed my job to cover that of the Marketing Director whom had just left a month before. They've offered me two weeks severance pay as required by law to do so ( I had worked there just over a year). Then also offered an additional two weeks if I sign something saying that I won't appeal the decision, etc. My question is this - do I have a wrongful dismissal case and is it worth the time and effort to fight for a wrongful dismissal or should I just cut my losses and sign the agreement? Thank you in advance for your time and response. Amanda Bickle

Many thanks for your employment law question. Your termination package seems low for a Marketing Specialist. We strongly recommend that you speak to a lawyer before signing and agreeing to anything. Please contact us at the number or email below - we offer a complimentary (no cost) assessment, where we can determine an appropriate severance package for you.
