FAQs

What is unjust dismissal?

The Unjust Dismissal protections found under the Canada Labour Code are unique to federally regulated workplaces and can be more substantial than those for wrongful dismissal. Employees working for a federally regulated employer may seek extraordinary remedies, including re-instatement and back pay, if they have been terminated without cause. Whether employees may consider themselves to have been unjustly dismissed will depend on several factors. There is a 90-day limitation period for filing an Unjust Dismissal complaint; employees therefore need to be very prompt in pursuing their rights and seeking legal advice.
