Wrongful Termination Legal Rights
Summary
In Ontario, termination for business reasons may entitle you to severance or notice, even with short tenure. If commissions were part of your compensation, review your contract for entitlements. Employment Insurance (EI) eligibility can be complex for international students on a study permit. Generally, EI requires availability for work and active job-seeking. Without a work permit, eligibility may be limited. Apply for EI within four weeks of job loss. For specific guidance, consult Service Canada or an employment lawyer.Full Conversation
Aman
Hi Aman! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
I want to discuss about my termination from my job
I'm sorry to hear about your termination, Aman. In Ontario, there are certain laws and protections for employees. Could you share if you have received any severance package or notice, and if there were any reasons given for your termination?
Reason is Just cause
In Ontario, termination for "just cause" means the employer believes you committed serious misconduct warranting immediate dismissal. However, proving just cause is challenging for employers. Here are some general points:
- Employers must show substantial misconduct.
- Employees can challenge the termination at the Ontario Labour Relations Board or through a lawyer.
- Consider consulting an employment lawyer to evaluate your case.
Would you like details on how to find a local employment lawyer or more information on your rights?
