Fired in Quebec, Canada... Can I sue and win?

[NikkiCarbo]

Hi I am in Quebec, Canada
sorry English not my first language but I do my best I can.
I was fired. I was at my job for 10 months. I got fired out of nowhere.
I had no prior notice or warnings. I was suddenly told my work not good enough.
But my managers up to then allways telling me my work was good!
I was very shocked.
Is there anything I can do?
Doesnt' employer needs to give written or oral warnings to people, before they are firing them?
I thinking they just want to replacing me with cheaper workers. This seems unfair to me.
Can I suing and win?
thanks,
Nikki

I would suggest seeing if you can look at the policies of the company.

Hard to answer that question untill then.

Most companies have policies with that kind of information.

How you have stated your question is he said she said agrument.

Hello
It small company, I think there not many strict policies. But within Canada arent there certin policies a company must follow? I mean, shouldnt I have been giving warnings before just being fired out of no where?
It seems very injust to me. It seems very wrong that an employee can just being fired out of the blue without knowing they were on tin ice.
And I really beleive I was let go because he want to hire cheaper labour.

Unless there is a written company policy regarding warning and whatnot, you can be fired for any or no cause and you can quit for any or no cause. Most employment is "at will", meaning either party can terminate without notice or cause.

The employee has all the responsibility and none of the rights, while the employer has all of the rights and none of the responsibilities.

You may believe you were fired for desire to pay cheaper labor, but you will have a tough time proving that.

Chalk it up to a bad experience, and move on with your life.

Many small companies run their operations with a very carefree attitude, so I highly doubt they even have a written company policy in place.

You can ask, in writing, the specific reason you were fired and ask if you had ever received warnings prior to your firing. They have to respond to such a written request within 30 days. In the meantime, contact your Unemployment office and apply.
