If You're Fired: Wrongful Dismissal

If You're Fired: Wrongful Dismissal

If you are fired without just cause, are you supposed to get notice or severance pay?
Yes. The following sections explain the details.

How much notice?
Your employment contract may say how much notice you get. If not, the contract has an implied term (oral or written) that the employer will give you reasonable notice of dismissal. Either way, an employer gives notice by telling you that your job will end on a particular date. Until that date, the employment contract continues – and so do your and your employer’s obligations under the contract.

How much notice is reasonable? It depends on several things including the type of job, how long you had it, your age, whether similar jobs are available, and your experience, training and qualifications.
You have a duty during the notice period to look for another comparable job. The employer may have a duty, during the notice period, to let you look for another job, so you won’t be unemployed when your current job ends.
Dude, why are you looking at wrongful dismissal information? You haven't said anything about being fired...
