Wrongful Dismissal Actions: Part Time Employees

Part-time employees are still entitled to wrongful dismissal damages based on length of service and character of employment, amongst other factors.

The fact that employment is part-time is relevant to the calculation of pay in lieu of reasonable notice (less pay per year means less severance pay on a wrongful dismissal).

Nonetheless part-time employees still have an entitlement that must be satisfied by their employers upon a termination of their employment on a without cause basis.

If you believe you have been wrongfully dismissed and are a part-time employee, you should contact a qualified employment lawyer to assess your legal claims.
