I worked for a franchise employer who sent her sister in to lay me off on Feb 12. I have not received my ROE or an email outlining my lay off then on Feb 26 I received a termination letter from a lawyer saying that they are terminating me with cause. Can she do this? Do I not have a right to the 2 weeks either termination pay or the 2 weeks between decisions? Also my pay date was Feb 25, and she said she mailed my cheque without my permission and I still have not received it.
We would need to get the particulars of the employer's allegation of cause in order to properly assess the situation. What we can tell you is that there is a high threshold that must be met in order for an employer to summarily dismiss an employee for cause. Please contact our office and schedule a consultation with one of our lawyers to go over the above particulars and advise you of your rights and entitlements.
