Have you been wrongfully dismissed from your job? Think you’re owed more severance? Talk to a Vancouver wrongful dismissal lawyer at SAMFIRU TUMARKIN LLP before you accept a termination package!
How Vancouver wrongful dismissal lawyers can help
Our leading wrongful dismissal lawyers in Vancouver can work to get you the severance package you are legally owed. Severance pay in B.C. is often more than just one or two weeks of compensation – your termination package could total as much as 24 months’ pay based on multiple factors. The law determines how much you should receive, not your employer.
A wrongful dismissal occurs in Vancouver (and B.C.) when you are fired without cause (or improperly for cause) and given an incorrect amount of severance. Many people believe that a wrongful dismissal in B.C. means that you’ve been fired for the wrong reason. That is not the case. Your employer can fire you for almost any non-discriminatory reason – but they must pay you FULL severance.
The team of Vancouver employment lawyers at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP have spent years helping thousands of people secure fair severance pay amounts after termination. When you are let go from your job, you are likely owed severance – and we can help you get it.
In addition to covering minimum requirements under the province’s Employment Standards Act (ESA) or the Canada Labour Code (CLC) for federally-regulated employees, the package must include certain factors. Severance packages in B.C. are determined by reviewing many factors, including your: following:
-
Age
-
Position
-
Length of employment
-
Bonus entitlements
-
Benefits
-
Terms in an employment contract
The difference between what your employer offers you and what you are actually owed could total many months’ pay – or tens of thousands of dollars. This type of severance pay applies to both provincially regulated and federally regulated employees. Our severance pay lawyers in Vancouver will work to secure the proper amount.
