What Is Unjust Dismissal Under the Canada Labour Code?

Employees working in federally regulated industries are subject to the Canada Labour Code, which provides specific protections when employment is terminated. For certain non-managerial employees, the Code provides an unjust dismissal scheme that allows eligible employees to challenge a termination they believe was unjust.

In this video, Ascent lawyer Brynna Hambly explains who may be eligible to bring an unjust dismissal complaint, the requirements that must be met, the potential remedies available, and the importance of the 90-day deadline for filing a complaint.

If you are a federally regulated employee and have questions about an unjust dismissal or your rights following termination, contact Brynna Hambly or any of the lawyers at Ascent Employment Law to discuss your options.
