I was terminated without cause after just 20 days of work, but with no probation clause in my contract. Employer offered one week’s pay upon signing a release. Is it worthwhile to fight for more termination pay?
Generally an employer can let you go at any time without having to provide a reason why, as long as you are paid out your termination entitlements. There is a chance you could be entitled to more common law severance than one week, however, one of our employment lawyers would need to review your matter further to assess this, including any contracts of employment you may have. If you would like to have a consult with one of our lawyers you should contact our office.
