Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
I worked for a company since May 2018, and on Aug 19, 2018, 9:00 am I was dismissed with a Release letter which said "due to organizational restructuring a decision has been made to terminate your employment effective September 18, 2018". The release letter was dated September 18, but Operations manager and HR manager met with me on Aug 19 at 9:00 am. The letter says that they will pay me until Sep 28, 2018, and benefits will continue until Sep 28, 2018 as well.
Is this all Legal or do I need to ask for anything different. I am an engineer, was working full time with no probation period in my job offer. Please advise.
