Deborah Goodfellow Anna Echols business Calendar Manitoba movers w Hen aesthetician Crystal Bell was fired via Facebook she spawned a debate Over Caber sacking and what employers owe their employees in times when electronic communication has become the Norm. I think its going to be the Way of the future but for me its not the human Way to go said Bell a single Mother from Kelowna b. C. Who found out she was canned when she checked her Facebook e mail one morning in late november As she was getting ready for work. I think using any kind of texting or e mailing to let people go is the cowards Way out. The former spa worker who concedes that she was also hired via Facebook had Only been on the Job for two weeks when she was let go with an electronic Pink slip after failing to show up at a staff meeting on her Day off. I still got dressed and went into work that Day because i thought she was kidding said Bell who received word of her firing via her private Facebook inbox so it was not available online for All her friends to see. The termination sparked a bit of a stir online with employment lawyers and a human resources experts blogging about whether cube sackings Are merely the modern equivalent of a letter of termination. Are they just Tacky or do they also raise questions about the Legal ins and outs of letting employees go in the u. S., radio Shack sparked an uproar online and in newspaper editorials when it notified 400 employees by e mail two years ago that they were being dismissed. There Are both legalistic and humanistic reasons to not be resorting to e mail or other electronic forms of communication to terminate employment said Robert Smithson a Vancouver labour lawyer. A prudent employer would say this might not be the most Friendly sympathetic manner so were going to avoid that. Bell acknowledges that she was unreachable on the night of the missed staff meeting because she was at the Hospital with her sick Mother. She had no minutes left on her cellphone and her voice Mailbox on her Home phone was full. Bell said she contacted a lawyer about the Prospect of damages but he told her she was out of Luck because she had worked at the spa for Only two weeks. Her former Boss Susanne woe Rhie defended the Facebook firing by saying that she had tried to Call Bell after she skipped the staff meeting but reach her. I just wanted to have it dealt with that evening woe Rhie told the Kelowna daily courier. I did t want to Deal with it at the shop when other people were around. Smithson notes that a potential complication if a fired employee seeks damages is that e mail is not considered either private or secure. Messages Are sent via company servers that can be retrieved by others. Also messages Are stored on backup systems that can be saved for years. Keep in mind the e mail might contain allegations of misconduct which May later be proven to be untrue so their disclosure could give Rise to concerns on the defamation front he said.
