While we look at some of the top reasons for getting fired from one's job in the accompanying video, there is considerably more involved in receiving what you are legally due when fired. Employers would like you to believe that being fired for a specific reason is satisfactory to claim that the employee was fired for cause and no further payment was due, or that their low-ball offer of termination pay is satisfactory. Naturally, that is what your boss would like you to believe, such that you accept their simple reasoning and walk away without doing anything more, as most employees have done when fired. However, given how much you've put into your job, doesn't it make sense that you look into what you are due for all that hard work and sacrifice, especially now that your job has been taken away from you.
As our own research and legal analysis has shown, most employees that get fired from their job, they leave behind a significant amount of money that they are legally entitled to. And this is particularly true where one or more of the following employment aspects exists: (i) long-term employment, (ii) salaried employment or (iii) employment in Alberta. Naturally, where more than one of these employment aspects are present, there is an even stronger likelihood that you are due significantly more money from your former employer than you received.
Yet, due to the highly technical nature of employment law, most employees, and even lawyers, are not aware of what employees are properly due. Instead, they proceed with standardized payouts for terminated employees; however, where one or more of the previously indicated employment aspects is present, those employees need to seriously rethink their pre-existing understanding as to their legal entitlement post-employment. When one seriously investigates and deconstructs the legal and financial aspects of employment and employee terminations, the significance of understanding your legal position becomes readily apparent.
Our approach, however, is not for everyone. When we take on an employment case, we pursue it very aggressively, such that we don't pull our punches with your former employer. As such, for those individuals who simply want to move on, even if it means leaving behind a considerable amount of money, we are probably not the right legal team. For everyone else, especially those employed by larger companies (who think they are so strong and powerful to be beyond reproach), that meet our internal criteria for aggressive employment litigation, we have a unique legal approach that you should seriously consider.
