Late last week, the Financial Post reported two ex\u002DTwitter employees in Ontario have sued for wrongful dismissal damages after mass layoffs.

There are a few key takeaways that flow from this story.

The vast majority of cases settle well before trial. The benefit of launching a claim for plaintiffs is the access litigation gives you to impose accountability on your ex-employer. Once a claim is filed, an employer must defend against the case, usually within 30 days . Then, the parties must mediate or try to settle the matter within six months if you live in Toronto, Ontario, or Windsor.

Litigation can also help an employee understand the value of their cases. Allegations must be supported. Evidence should be collected and analyzed, including efforts to find new work.We apologize, but this video has failed to load.In Tei’s case he was terminated after only one-and-a-half years but at a time that thousands have been terminated from the very same sector. He claims he received conflicting information about when his termination took effect.

Employees can include facts like their level if education, medical disabilities and family considerations in a statement of claim when detailing possible legitimate impediments to finding new, comparable work. In fact, employees like Tei who worked wholly remotely may have legitimate grounds for limiting their job search to remote roles .
