Wrongful Dismissal / Unjust Dismissal

Wrongful Dismissal Process

Are you an Alberta employee who has been fired?  Are you concerned you might be entitled to more notice or severance pay than your employer is offering you?

Wrongful dismissal is always dismissal without cause.  If an employer has just cause for dismissal, then it is not a wrongful dismissal and the employee is not likely entitled to severance. If you have been wrongfully dismissed, you are likely entitled to at least some amount of severance.

The lawyers at Bow River Law are skilled and experienced at handling a wide variety of employment dismissal matters as legal counsel for employees and employers. This of course includes legal services to employees and employers for Wrongful Dismissal.

Cautionary Notes

• Just because your employer has decided to terminate your employment does not mean you are powerless;
• Even if your employer does an investigation and concludes they have “just cause” to terminate your employment, you are not powerless. Employers do not get to decide if they have just cause or not- that is for the courts to decide.  We are experienced at making strong arguments that an employee has been wrongfully dismissed or unjustly dismissed and providing representation for those dismissed employees;
• We are experienced at representing employers in wrongful dismissal and unjust dismissal cases as well- let us know what is going on and we should be able to help you.
