I was dismiss for no reason after working there for 4 yrs. their reason was they wanted to go into another direction.

I have been with my employer now for two years. I took some unpaid time off to deal with some personal issues. My employer had called me in a few weeks later and terminated me. The problem is, my termination letter was dated March 15 and my record of employment was dated back in January, about the time I took the personal leave. I had spoke to the human resource person and was told that they had already paid me out for the full amount owing to me. I am not sure how to proceed. I hope you can help

Is there a time line for filing a wrongful dismissal claim. I am waiting on a ruling from the Ombudsman and wondering if I have a time frame to file wrongful dismissal in Ontario

I was dismissed after 7 months on the job and told it had nothing to do with my performance. I was given the proper amount of pay in lieu of notice, but I am not entirely sure my position was eliminated as they said, claiming it was part of a "restructure". They are hiring for a similar, if not identical position in their northern office, and I was not offered the job. Do I have any reason to state wrongful dismissal or am I out of luck? My boss is who I answered to, and her sister was her sidekick of sorts, and neither one of them would talk to me or answer my emails for a few weeks leading up to my dismissal. They did offer me an extra week of pay if I signed that I won't go after them for any reason. Is that customary, or a reason to believe they know they did something wrong?
