Hi I was just terminated after only working a week at my new job. The employer emailed and asked if she could calll me and around 2 and I said yes. When she called she stated that she longer wanted to continue my employement. As she felt that I would excel better in a different environment. She said that I was picking up and learning everything very quickly but she felt that I could do better in a different work environment. And right after terminating me without a significant reason they put ad on indeed to hiring someone else and also they kept someone who was a Canadian race and terminated me even when I was learning a lot more quickly than she was. Do I have any claim to sue then under an employment act?

Hi I was just terminated because I had sent a text to one of my Manager about my pay not coming in and stating I won't have food for word today. I never mentioned calling in or I wasn't calling in but apparently all the other managers thought that was me saying I'm not coming in and they terminated me for it. I called the main Manager (the one who hired me) and explained I never said I wasn't coming in and she said it didn't matter they all decided that I had said that and there was nothing she could do. I am so upset and I want my job back as that was unfair do I have a claim?

I have been working at a well known restaurant since May and was terminated last week. I never had any write ups and was told it was due to two negative reviews that I could not find online and was not shown. I recieved one week of severance which is not enough to get me through since I rely primarily on tips. What are my rights?

I was hired as a sales manager/sales and marketing coordinator. My contract was determined to be ending before the end of my probation due to a restructuring. That’s what they’ve said during conversations yet provided an ambiguous letter stating their decision. My employment ends on the 9th. I also strongly doubt it is in fact a restructuring as I’m deemed responsible for the day to day and as per BAO requirements my name appears as “sales manager” on all our price lists. What recourse do I have? What should I ensure to do before the end of my tenure? They’ve agreed to provide me with reference letters. What should I request/suggest for content?
