Difference between revisions of "I Have Been Dismissed (Fired) without Just Cause"

* '''Human rights violations:''' If you believe that you've been fired because of your race, political belief, religion, marital or family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, age or a criminal conviction, you can file a human rights complaint, and the BC or federal human rights tribunal could order that you be reinstated, along with lost pay and other remedies. See "[[I am being discriminated against or sexually harassed]]" in this Guide.

* '''Health or safety complaints:''' If you believe that you've been fired because you complained about a health or safety matter (relating to yourself or anyone else), you can file a "discrimination" complaint with the WCB (WorksafeBC). The WCB can order that you be reinstated and receive back pay unless the employer can prove that your health and safety actions had nothing to do with your dismissal.   

If you don't fall within one of these groups, you won't be able to get your job back, but you are entitled to receive '''reasonable notice''' before your employment ends, or '''pay for the period of reasonable notice'''.
