What is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful Termination, also known as Wrongful Dismissal, occurs when an employee’s dismissal violates the terms of their contract with an employer. The term also applies when that employee’s dismissal violates any statute provisions under Canadian employment law. Unless they have cause, companies must provide employees with reasonable notice regarding the end of employment. In lieu of notice, employers may provide adequate compensation as severance pay. Were you fired from your job unexpectedly and for no reason?  If you had an employment agreement, do you feel that the terms of your contract were broken or ignored?

Still have questions?
Was I wrongfully terminated in Ontario?

You may have a wrongful termination (wrongful dismissal) claim if you were fired without proper notice or fair compensation, or if your employer treated the termination as “for cause” when the facts don’t support it. The details matter, especially your job, length of service, contract terms, and what happened leading up to termination.

Can my employer fire me without cause in Ontario?

Yes, many employees can be terminated “without cause,” but that doesn’t mean “without consequences.” In most cases, the employer still must provide proper notice or pay in lieu of notice (and sometimes additional severance), depending on your situation.

How much severance pay am I entitled to in Ontario?

This is one of the most searched questions. Severance can depend on multiple factors, including:

  • Your age, role, and length of employment
  • Your compensation structure (salary, bonus, commissions)
  • Your employment contract and termination clause
  • How long it may take to find comparable work

A quick legal review can often tell you whether an offer is fair.

Do I have to sign a severance package right away?

No. Employers may pressure you to sign quickly, but you typically have time to review. Signing can waive important rights. It’s smart to speak with an employment lawyer before accepting a termination offer.

What is “just cause” for termination in Ontario?

“Just cause” is a high legal threshold. Employers may claim cause for serious misconduct, but it’s often disputed. If you were fired “for cause,” don’t assume the employer is right, get advice before you accept that label.

Is it constructive dismissal if my employer cut my pay, hours, or changed my job?

Possibly. Constructive dismissal can happen when an employer makes a major change to your job (pay cut, demotion, major schedule change, relocation, toxic work environment) and treats you as if you have no choice but to accept it. These cases are fact-specific, so getting legal guidance early helps.
