Advocating Firmly For You

Wrongful dismissal doesn’t always involve misconduct by the employer—often, it simply means you weren’t given proper notice, severance, or fair treatment during the termination process. We carefully review contracts, workplace circumstances, and employer actions to identify where your rights may have been violated. With this information, we build a strategy that aims for the strongest possible resolution.

Whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation, we advocate firmly on your behalf to secure fair compensation. Employers have obligations under BC law, and when those obligations are not met, you deserve effective and experienced representation. With Glendinning Smith LLP, you don’t have to settle for less than what is lawful and fair.

What a Wrongful Dismissal Looks Like

1. Termination Without Proper Notice

Many wrongful dismissal cases arise when an employee is let go without reasonable notice or adequate severance. If your employer provided less than the law requires, you may be entitled to significantly more compensation.

2. Being Forced to Quit (Constructive Dismissal)

If your job duties, hours, pay, or work environment were changed so drastically that continuing wasn’t reasonable, the law may treat it as a dismissal—even if you technically “resigned.” This often qualifies as wrongful dismissal.

3. Termination Based on Unfounded Allegations

If you were dismissed for performance or misconduct without proper investigation, documentation, or justification, the termination may be legally flawed. Employers must have fair and reasonable grounds for cause-based dismissals.

4. Retaliation or Bad Faith Treatment

Wrongful dismissal can also involve unfair treatment before, during, or after termination—such as retaliation for raising concerns, withholding owed pay, or using aggressive or misleading termination tactics. These situations can increase the compensation you may be entitled to.
