| Recently Terminated; I Have a Question.
I got terminated for applying for other jobs while at work (stupid, yes I know) but am I entitled to some sort of severance under anything in employment legislation?
I was talking to a few friends and they told me that when you're terminated they should give you some notice otherwise they'd have to pay you for 2 more weeks..or something to that effect.
I didn't sign anything when I left. I'm going to phone the labor board but I'd thought I'd ask you guys first.
Does anyone have any input?

If you're fired, I believe you're entitled to the 2 weeks. But if you quit, I don't think you are.

I just found the following on http://www.labour.gov.bc.ca/esb/facshts/termination.htm which indicates that they can terminate me without notice and compensation if they're cause is justified..but I can't seem to find that list..

just called the labour board and looks like I won't have a case as I signed a contract when I began my employment which listed among its stipulations that I couldn't be using my work computer for non-work things. oh well.

after reading the first post.... I was going to say sue their ass. they can't fire you because you are searching for another job.
then I read you were doing it using the company computer ..... what a dumb ass.

It also depends on the company. Some companies have stipulation that you have to be on salary before they will give you severance for being fired/laid off.
Also, you're dumb for looking for work FROM work. GG.

any time you're using company resources for non company related purposes, you're exposing yourself to the possibility of termination. regardless of whether you signed a contract or not.

The IT department basically confirms the boss's suspicions.
