Wrongful Dismissal Claim settled against employer for $180,000.00

ATAC LAW was engaged by an employee who was terminated from a large, publicly traded company for alleged safety violations. Upon investigation, our lawyers found that there was a longstanding dispute between the employee and one of the managers of the employer. Employers are not permitted to use ulterior motives in citing just cause for termination of an employee. ATAC LAW sued the employer and settled the case for the employee for 16 months of severance, equivalent to $180,000.00.
