Employers in Ontario are generally permitted to terminate an employee without cause (i.e. for no reason). However, in order to do so the employer must provide the employee with proper notice or pay in lieu thereof.
The amount of notice an employee is entitled to will depend on a number of factors, including whether there is an enforceable employment agreement with a valid termination provision.
The fact that your employer terminated you with 2 weeks notice but failed to provide you the full amount of notice is not permitted.
You could be entitled to compensation on the basis of wrongful dismissal.
We would need more information in order to advise you on the full extent of your potential entitlements. If you would like to schedule a consultation, please contact us at the number below.
