Wrongful Dismissal: Inducement and Extension of the Traditional Reasonable Notice Period

If you were hired by an employer after leaving previous secure employment and then are subsequently terminated without cause after only serving a short stint with your new employer, you may have a claim to additional severance pay based on inducement.

Inducement can include such things as additional compensation and benefits. There must be facts to support such a claim otherwise parties can be hit with costs sanctions. For an informative discussion of inducement, see Bishop v. Beefeater.

If you have been wrongfully dismissed by an employer and believe that you were induced away from previous secure employment, you should contact a qualified employment lawyer to discuss your situation.
