My wife had a conversation with her assistant manager and basically said she would hand in her 2 weeks notice the following day. We talked about it that night and she decided to continue working for a few more months.
Today she was told that due to the discussion with her coworker her resignation was accepted and she is no longer employed.
I’m assuming she is entitled to 2 weeks termination pay but does she have any other recourse for wrongful dismissal?
One of our lawyers would need to review with your wife in detail the circumstances/timing surrounding her resignation and the retraction of same. There is a possibility that if she retracted the resignation in a timely manner and the employer refused to allow her to continue working this could be seen as a termination, entitling her to her severance entitlements. You should advise your wife to contact the number below to speak with one of our employment lawyers so we can assess the matter further with her.
