Wrongful Dismissal or Layoff ?

The distinction between the two is often difficult to ascertain without the assistance of a qualified employment lawyer.

While the employment standards act provides for temporary layoffs, extended layoffs or repeated layoffs can trigger a wrongful dismissal as can denial of wages and benefits during the layoff period.

If you are not sure if you are still on layoff or have been wrongfully terminated, you should contact an employment lawyer to obtain a legal opinion on the issue.
