What is wrongful dismissal?

An employee has the right to receive a notice (or pay in lieu of notice) when an employer terminates his or her employment. Notice and/or payment is not required when an employee is dismissed for just cause. It is also not required for employees who have been employed for less than ninety days, or who are employed on a seasonal or temporary basis.

Sometimes, an employer will claim that an employee can be fired without notice or pay when the employee actually is entitled to it. This is known as wrongful dismissal. Employees who have been wrongfully dismissed can – and should – enforce their right to be compensated for their wages and other employment benefits during the notice period.
