I worked with the employer for 3 years and they involuntary terminated me stating that the department structure changed and there is no need for my position. Is that wrongful dismissal and what am I owed?

I had brought up a pretty big safety issue at my place of work.. the managers wanted nothing but to cover it up.. I asked tj be in a different department so my job wasnt at risk. They had agreed to do so. Within two weeks I had a write up over multiple customer complaints. When i have not had a one in the year of being tthere. They wanted to give me severance which personally think is less then they should be giving me with signing my rights away at the same time.

I was accused of steeling and wasn’t charged but got fired.

My wife and I have been live in building managers for a residential building with 100 apartments. We were hired on Feb 12, 2018 and let go "without cause" on Feb 4, 2019 (1 week before 1 year anniversary). We were offered 1 week pay in lieu of notice. We are also required to give up possession of our apartment by Feb 12, 2019 aas per our contract. Our employer is the largest property management company in Canada with over 800 employees. My question is: What can we ask for in terms of termination pay? I am 46 years old, my wife is 48, and we gave up our home to take this job a year ago.

I've never got written up at work and I accidentally broke something at work. I tried fixing it but couldn't. My boss was mad at me and fired me after being there for 8 months. Do I get a 2 week compensation pay?
