My son was terminated and presented with 3 written notices on the same day. That notices indicates he was on a performance improvement plan but he was never advised of such. After leaving another coworker was advised they were trying to find a way to fire him. His employment contract was not signed by management at the time of hire and when after being fired he indicated such, they falsified the documents and signed them the date he was terminated. Is it worth it to take to Employment Standards?
My name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. If your son was placed on a performance improvement plan and then terminated that same day, the employer will be unlikely to establish just cause for termination. Therefore, your son would be entitled to severance pay. Please visit the Severance Calculator to determine his common law severance entitlements (http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/) and contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail.
