I was let go after a week of employment because I have a criminal record

Hello, and thank you for your posting.

Depending on 1) the type of offense you have been convicted of and 2) whether a pardon has been granted under the Criminal Records Act and has not been revoked, it is possible that you were terminated in direct violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code.

Not only might you be entitled to human rights damages, but you may also have a claim for wrongful dismissal.

Please contact us at the number below to discuss your matter further.

Thank you.
