I have worked full time for 4 years for a company and now I'm the only one getting laid off due to financial reasons (the company is losing money). If the company becomes profitable again can I sue for wrongful dismissal?

Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.

Actually, you do not have to wait until the company becomes profitable again. The law is very clear that an employer’s obligations to pay severance do not lessen in bad times (or increase in good times, for that matter).

We can help you seek compensation now. Please send me an email at Jon.pinkus@stlawyers.ca and we can set up a free consultation to discuss this in more detail.
