Should you be terminated for violating the office dress code?


Listen Later

After a woman in Edmonton was terminated for violating her company dress code, she filed a human rights complaint. This case led many to ask questions concerning workplace attire and employee rights. Toronto employment lawyer Lior Samfiru at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP joins Kelly Cutrara to answer these questions and more.

Points of Discussion:

  • Is there any room for interpretation in a work dress code?
  • Is there a scenario in which termination over a dress code is permissible?  
  • Can you be let go from your employment during a probationary period for any reason?
  • What is the discriminatory aspect of this case?
  • Are employers at an advantage by having their employees believe they are automatically on probation?
