Can you be terminated without cause while your wife is 7 months pregnant ? Working for a company for over 3 years.
At 3pm today. I walked into a meeting with HR, general manager, and personal training regional manager. They questioned me about personal training sessions I completed in our system. The sessions I completed were sessions from clients that had already completed their sessions a few years ago but were still in the system but they had been completed. These sessions were imported from an old system called PFP to our new system Datatrack. I also entered sessions from two members who emailed me saying I can give their sessions away. I did enter these sessions but no one actually trained them, there is no policy stating that I could not use them to my discretion and somebody needed to train them. In the meeting after I finished explaining this they said “this puts a twist in things” and needed to talk to Vice President of personal training and said to wait. When they finally met with me an hour later they said I was going to be on administrative leave until another meeting with them on Monday 12noon. I asked why and they said they needed to speak to their legal department and I asked what specifically are you inquiring about that need legal advice - they said looking towards termination because I fraudulently entered these sessions for my financial gain. To make matters more complicated I have an email exchange from a few weeks ago that is between myself, regional manager and Vice President about me questioning their budget increases going into 2018. The regional manager called me to tell me the VP was upset with me and that he should talk to me and not her because he knows her too well. I feel like even though there was no intent on my behalf to financially gain from this even though I have emails saying I can give the sessions away and the old sessions were complete(they also told me they have no way to prove these sessions were completed or paid out to a trainer) they are using this as a way to get me out the door because of personal feelings the VP has towards me and as such using this as way to not pay me any sort of severance because they “have cause” for termination. Please let me know if you can help or if you can refer me to someone who can Thank you for your time.
My employer is saying I fraudulently completed personal trainering hours for clients however I have 2 emails from two separate clients saying I can give the sessions away. The other sessions I completed were already completed from past dates. They are saying I fraudulently entered these hours for “financial gain”. I am currently on administrative leave and when asked why they responded by saying “legal will be looking into termination” I have meeting on Monday at 12noon. What should I do?
What rights do I have as a contract worker who has been paying cpp and ei , and has been unjustly terminated today- and was expecting to go to work on Monday?
I have been working for National Wireless for 2.5 years (a bell branded dealer) and have been hearing through other staff members that work in the back room that the company is trying to off board 3 staff from our location and my name has been brought up. I find it strange that my manager, despite needing to get rid of staff is interviewing potential new hires. I am trying to figure out my rights and what I deserve as severance if they do let me go. I have been a good employee and have recently been exceeding my sales goals yet still get picked on by management for not working hard enough. I deal with angry belligerent customers on a daily basis and handle it to the best of my ability yet still always get in trouble for one thing or another. The manager speaks poorly of me to my co workers behind my back yet tells me she always has my back. I am really not sure as to what to do about this situation. I feel like my stress and anxiety have increased drastically at this job in the past year. Not only are we expected to do more and more but they're also now cutting our commission payouts in half due to the increase in minimum wage. My manager as expressed that we are to milk every customer for every dollar that we can where as I have the approach of selling based on the customer needs. By doing what I believe is fair and right, I get told im not selling enough. Please help!
