Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
I worked for a lawyer for less 3 months. During the initial negotiations for the postion, probation was never mentioned. Only salary and vacation.
During my time at this firm, the work environment was terrible. The receptionist was fired and I became the receptionist. I was hired as a senior law clerk and was not pleased about the de-motion. However, I did all duties that were required of me.
I started to look for another job and advised my employer of the same. We had numerous discussions based on me looking for different employment as the lawyers knew that I was dissatified with the postion.
However, as soon as I do tell them that I have an interview, I return from my lunch and my employment is terminated. I asked the lawyer who terminated my employment for a reason and he said that he couldn't give me a reason.
My name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. While your employer does not have to provide a reason for termination, it must provide an appropriate severance package.
