I was hired as an Intake coordinator for an Ontario law office. The position was Remote. I was restricted from Operating my Process Serving business. Everything was going fine, I had not been reprimanded or received any type of performance write ups. I was notified at 3pm by Teams that a meeting was to take place at 4pm. Once everyone was in attendance, I was told that I was being terminated effective immediately without cause. When I asked the Managing Lawyer / Owner as to why. I was told "it was due to the decrease in incoming calls" This issue was addressed daily with office management, owner/Managing Lawyer and the newest hired COO. I also addressed the hiring of an another intake coordinator and the overall restrictions placed on the Lead generation by the office management which directly impacted my position. This was a short term employment November 30 2024 - March 20th 2025.

Employers are generally allowed to terminate employees without cause as long as they comply with their legal obligations upon termination. We recommend you contact the Intake team at our Firm to assess whether you have any entitlements.
