I was just fired from my position after 1 year. They stated that after evaluation I was not a good fit for the company anymore, which I find hard to believe since a few weeks ago my supervisor and I were talking about me getting a raise and being promoted to "team leader" of my department. There was an incident that occurred within the entire customer service team and I feel this is why they fired me but it's not what they said when firing me. The incident was an internal "joke" between all customer service representatives and when we were questioned about it, everyone took blame for it and deliberately stated I should not be held responsible as it was a team effort. I'd like to know if this falls under wrongful dismissal as I NEVER received any verbal or written warnings regarding this matter. Nor did I get spoken to about my performance being an issue.

I gave my two weeks notice to my company due to me getting another job. I had 3 days left of work before i was due to leave. on the Tuesday of my last week of work I was fired for speaking the truth to a contractor about wrong material that was supplied for the job and I wasn't able to complete the job for him due to the wrong material being sent. the contractor then replied my message that I told him about the wrong material to my boss. my boss then confronted me about it and accused me of talking ill about her and the company. she then went on to say I was a terrible working and a terrible person in general. she then informed me that she confronted other workers at my company to say I have been speaking ill about my boss and company the whole time I was there. she fired me over the phone using profanity towards me. I was simply let go for only speaking the truth and refusing to lie. I would like to know, due I have a case for wrongful dismissal and am I entitled to the remainder of my full weeks pay.

I was employed for 10 years and hurt my back playing ball. Was on the tail end of an disability claim when I tried to play ball again. HR caught wind of me playing and came to the park with her sister to take pictures. So I was denied disability benefits due to her actions. I sued the insurance company and won, no longer have benefits with them. Two and a half years later I am still employed but suing my company for breach of confidentiality. Since I left work I have gone on to receive cppd and the company is finally offered a settlement. $28,000, claimining they only owe me the esa severance due to frustration of contract. I’m thinking they owe a lot more than that for severance alone as the Work relationship ended when she shared confidential information with her sister and my ex girlfriend? Any opinion?

I was fired after +1.5 years of work for what I believe is wrongful termination with entrapment. The company planted a gift card which I found and used and then terminated me with the classification as stealing. Other employees at the place of work also agreed it was entrapment and should be dealt with. While waiting in the office for the outcome, the employer sat and texted with the other HR person which I believe is very unprofessional.

Our HR never liked me, i have a feeling it's because of my sexual orientation.She asked me too many illegal questions like where is the father of my kids..am i married to him and what happened to our marriage?etc etc. She questioned me twice the same questions in two different ocassions. I applied for different positions in our workplace but never gotten any better position even I have more seniority to those who got the job.She even called me once asking me to withdraw my application because she thinks i am not ready yet for the job I was applying for. Once i got sick she called my house and asked me when I am coming back and made a comment" It's not all about you" which i felt really rude and mean that time. I decided to go back to college, my manager told me that they have no longer available job for me..but I know that we have weekend shift that i could transfer to while going to school. They made me sign a paper that im quitting before they offered me the weekend shift job. 2yrs ago she went on leave and there was a position opened for Sanitation Supervisor..the HR that time gave me the job and made a good offer letter. The HR came back from her leave and suddenly my 72hrs holidays became 48, she made me sign too a new contract because she said there was a mistake in the old contract. Recently I was demoted..their reason was restructure of the company. I informed her a few days after that I want my Employee Information.She called my boss and ordered him to do a performance report to me alone among how many employees. I feel im being harrassed.
