I was terminated without cause shortly before the end of my probationary period. I was given 2 weeks pay in lieu of notice according to the termination clause in my employment contract. However, your severance calculator indicates that I am owed substantially more. I suspect that my age (late 60's) was a factor in my dismissal. Do I have any recourse in this matter?

You very well may. Termination provisions must be carefully crafted in order to be enforceable, and they must also be legally entered into. I would strongly recommend reaching out to an employment lawyer via the number below to discuss whether you have additional entitlements.
