Wrongfully Dismissed One Minute...But Being Asked to Return the Next?

An offer of re-employment advanced to a wrongfully dismissed employee doesn't always need to be accepted despite the Supreme Court of Canada's employer-friendly decision in Evans v. Teamsters.

Some hallmarks of a bad offer:

1. Too ambiguous to be understood

2. Employer refusal to put it in writing

3. Not a comparable salary

4. Substantially less job security

5. A forfeiture of rights to severance pay 

If you are an employee who has been wrongfully dismissed and are being asked to return to the very workplace who dismissed you, you should contact an employment lawyer for legal advice before making any decision with respect to your return.
