I work in an inside sales position for an independent pharmaceutical company. i have been there for just over 6 months. A couple weeks ago the owner (who is a tyrant) told me that they are extending my probation by 3 more months to which i did not consent to. I was making sales and working outside my regular working hours and trending as I should have been. Today (One week before Christmas)they told me that I was not suitable for the job and that they are terminating me immediately because they don't think I'm "suitable" for the job. I am owed commission as they pay quarterly and not 100% sure I will receive it. I had a lot of sales on the go and now I will not see any reward for my efforts. I was also told by the owner that instead of enjoying my evenings and weekends I should be more focused on my job. WHAT? I am a sales professional and this is how I was treated as many others have been in the past being employed here. Do I have a case for wrongful dismissal and can this company be audited by the ministry of labour for mistreating their employees?

This is a wrongful dismissal if you did not receive severance and other commissions owed to you. you may well be owed a few months compensation. Please contact me at the number below. There is more information I need, and I would like to take a look at any employment agreement you signed when you started. The good news is that this should be quite simple to resolve. I look forward to speaking with you.
