My employer fired me because my license was suspended. I did not receive any notification from the MTO about the suspension - I was not aware my license was suspended. As soon as my employer informed me, I took care of the unpaid fine and my license was reinstated in 2 days. When I returned to work they terminated me saying it's my responsibility to ensure I have a valid license but the MTO does not send registered letters and the only way I could have known would be to call the MTO every day and check if my license is in good standing - which is very unreasonable. How can I be fired for simply not receiving a letter from the MTO?
