I was terminated while on probation due to being labled "unfit for position". I was recruited for this position based on several years industry experience, and was let go without being given sufficient time to perform - I was employed for less than one month and active for less than two weeks. I left a long tenure at a major bank to embark on this new opportunity. There were also many setbacks beyond my control - The company was suffering sufficient loss from an employee working this new role(in addition to their own) prior to me starting (which is why they hired me) and when they realized the initial loss, they eliminated the position as they did not want to invest in the cost to do business. Is there a case?
This all comes down to whether you signed an employment agreement that allows the company to let you go in the first 3 months, without compensation. If you did sign such an agreement, there is nothing to do. If you did not, then you may be owed significant compensation. Please find a copy of any employment agreement you signed and then give me a call.
