In Ontario, an employee is wrongfully dismissed if their employer terminates their employment without giving them proper notice of termination or the equivalent compensation in place of the notice. It is important to note that employers can terminate an employee at any time, as long as they provide the proper amount of notice or pay in lieu of notice and the reason for the termination is not discriminatory in nature. It is a common misconception that an employee cannot be terminated without reason after they finish their probationary period.
