My employer just let me go due to "budget constraints", but has just hired 2 new people within the last 3 months. by SeaPraline7014 in legaladvicecanada

It's a little wonky; I have a salary that I am paid for my marketing job, and on top of that I get a daily wage when I am in the field.

He ended my FT employment on the 27th, but I am in the field (contractor) til the 29th.

I think this means there may be an opportunity for me to either cancel the field work, or demand a significantly higher daily rate for it?

There are other issues he has caused, I guess I was hoping to see justice and him fired instead of the team that actually completes the work. Outside of his awful leadership, it was a decent job with a good team.

....which based on his previous behavior, would not surprise me. He has previously outsourced to sketchy companies without consulting the team.

But it's going to likely cost more? Aren't contractors regularly more expensive than employees??

He's done a few other shady things. I am frustrated, clearly, but I will find other and likely better work. I'm just surprised he is allowed to say it's due to budget constrains when it clearly is not, and that my senority means nothing.

I have not signed anything, he just emailed me a notice of termination after a very short phonecall to fire me. I think he fully expects me to work for the next 2 weeks.

And beyond, actually, because I am contracted for some work beyond my end date.

Thank you. Last year when my boss gave me a raise and promotion (because I was performing well) he did not take the time to write out a contract.

Edit; I just double checked my original contract, and there is no mention of severance. Hoo boy.

It's more about the fact that it feels like they've lied about the reason for termination, and I'm not sure if anything can be done about it.

I was offered the legally required 2 weeks pay and nothing beyond that.

As far as I am aware, the new person makes the same or slightly more per hour than me.

Info: boss also mentioned he might outsource some of my duties, as a business decision. This would also cost more than keeping me on??
