It sounds as though you were only working there for a very short period of time. If you were there for less than three months, then you can be let go, for any reason, without receiving any Employment Standards Act notice. Any common law severance that you might be entitled to would be severely limited as well as a result of the short period of time that you were employed there. However, in order to determine what, if any, common law notice that you may be entitled to, we would need more information from you.
