I have been on maternity leave since Jan 2016 and during maternity leave I received a call stating I was being laid off at the end of my mat leave due to some business realignment. I have been there for 11 years. They said they would offer me a severance package. Is the lay off a human rights violation? Can I pursue anything in this case?
This sounds like both a Human Rights violation and wrongful dismissal action. You are likely entitled to at least 12 months' severance pay, plus possible human rights damages. Please contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail and determine how we can assist you recover a fair severance package.
