Wrongful Dismissal Lawyers in Toronto

How Toronto wrongful dismissal lawyers can help

Our leading wrongful dismissal lawyers in Toronto can work to get you the severance package you are legally owed. Severance pay in Ontario isn’t limited to just one or two weeks of compensation; you are entitled to as much as 24 months’ pay based on various factors. It’s not up to your employer to determine the amount you should receive.

A wrongful dismissal in Toronto occurs when you are fired without cause (or improperly for cause) and not given the correct amount of severance. Many people believe that a wrongful dismissal in Ontario 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 Toronto employment lawyers at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP have spent years helping tens of thousands of Canadians 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 or the Canada Labour Code for federally-regulated employees, the package must include certain factors. We determine severance pay in Ontario by reviewing many details, including the following:

• Age

• Position

• Length of employment

• Bonus entitlements

• Benefits

• Terms of 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.
