Compensation for wrongful dismissal is meant to get you the pay you would have earned had you remained at work during your notice period. However, you can sometimes seek additional compensation if the way your employer terminates your employment involves inappropriate conduct.

Your employer is expected by law to dismiss you in a reasonable, honest, and upfront manner. If you experience additional harm because they are unfair, dishonest, misleading, thoughtless, harsh, or extreme in the way they terminate your employment, you could claim additional compensation.

Not all unpleasant employer conduct will warrant additional compensation. Working with an experienced employment lawyer is imperative to understand if your situation warrants additional damages for bad faith discharge.
