Groundbreaking severance ruling in landmark Alberta case by Osuji & Smith Employment Lawyers
For the first time in Alberta, a summary trial for wrongful dismissal awarded 2 years’ severance pay to a non-management employee. Mr. Steven Oostlander initially came to Osuji & Smith with no knowledge of his rights after dedicating over half his life to one employer and being suddenly terminated. Charles Osuji, Amanda Jacinto, and the team at Osuji & Smith poured their hearts into the case, resulting in praiseworthy success.
This summary trial is important because it sets a precedent for future employees of Alberta who may have been wrongfully dismissed. Prior to this decision, no Alberta non-management employee had ever been awarded a 24-month severance package at a summary trial in recent times.
The team at Osuji & Smith has blazed a new trail. Their success in this landmark case has laid the groundwork for future wrongful dismissal cases. Their hard work and commitment to the best interests of their clients has paid off for Mr. Oostlander and the many clients who have trusted them with their legal challenges.

Wrongful Dismissal
You were just fired from your job. Did your employer give you adequate notice? Did they make false allegations against you? What about fair severance? Did they let you go due to COVID-19 without any compensation or warning?
If any of the above scenarios sound familiar, you could be facing wrongful dismissal.
Constructive Dismissal
Workplace harassment in Canada is high. Nearly 20% of Canadian employees reported experiencing harassment in the workplace in 2018. Fortunately, Alberta has implemented strict anti-bullying employment legislation.
Termination of Employment
Seek Legal Advice Before or After Being Terminated From Employment. Whether you are a full-time employee or on a contract, you have protections under the law if you are terminated.
Human Rights Issues
In every employment relationship, an employer has the duty to protect and accommodate the right to equal treatment of persons. This extends across the entire process, job application, recruitment, training, transfers, promotions, dismissals, layoffs and terminations.
Duty of Fair Representation Complaints
As a unionized employee, is your voice being heard? You have the right to be fairly represented when it comes to complaints against your employer. Your union should always be on your side.
But if you’re being brushed off, or poorly represented by your union reps, our team of dedicated employment lawyers are here to help.

Short and Long-Term Disability Entitlements – Sick leave
Accidents and illnesses – they can put you on sick leave or disability. Fortunately, your employer has an obligation to support you during these tough times. If they’re not doing so, our Calgary employment lawyers can clarify their responsibilities to you.
