I had requested two days off - a Friday and the following Monday and was denied, I hurt my neck, the result gave me Thursday and the requested Friday off with a doctors note. Upon my return the atmosphere at work was unpleasant, I was looked over for banked time, and after about 2 weeks spoke to my manager about the atmosphere and asked if something could be done about it. I then was dismissed with the reason that I was no longer a fit for the company although I had reserved a raise and more responsibilities about 2 months prior and had never had any complaints made towards me or my work ethic. Is this a wrongful dismissal?

Hi Joann,

The question of whether it was a "wrongful dismissal" will depend on whether the dismissal was connected to your time off as well as the separation package (if any) you received upon your termination. I would recommend that you contact our office and schedule a consultation so that we can go over the details of your employment and termination.
