Okay, so I was fired from my workplace. I have been there 5 years. I did get injured on the job 5 months ago and signed a contract that I would work * more months . But my boss dismissed me with 6 months left on the contract we signed . Do I have a case?
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. You might have a case for wrongful termination, especially if you had a contract that was breached.
- Was there any specific reason given for your termination?
- Did you receive any severance or compensation upon your dismissal?
My boss said they were restructuring the team.
It sounds like you may have a case for wrongful termination, especially since you had a contract. Here are some key points to consider:
- Breach of Contract: If your employer terminated you before the contract ended without a valid reason, you may have a case.
- Workplace Injury: Your termination could be related to your injury, which may be illegal.
- Restructuring: Employers can restructure, but they must follow contractual and legal obligations.
