If I say no to staying past my schedule shift, can my employer fire me?

My son had a car accident and suffered a brain injury. While he will be ready to go back to work soon, his employer has now given him a date that his short term disability will end and his LTD would start, at which time they say his employment will be terminated. While he should be back before needing LTD, can they legally terminate him should he need LTD? He had been employed there for about 6 months prior to the accident and had received a good review prior to the accident.

I have been terminated in advance, with working notice of 2 months. I am in a management position, being with the company over 5 years ( 38 years old ) I am wondering if I have a case to obtain more severance

I was terminated at my job for no reason worked there just over a year ask for termination paper or any forms I've signed for the company and was told we don't do that is this true that they can treat me like that if

After having me use up my banked time (=accumulated overtime) and vacation, the Company has asked me to transfer all my projects to another co-worker. This follows aa recent attempt to make me work as a weekly commute for 2 to 6 months, which I refused; it was not in my Employment Contract, and I cannot take it. My old father lives with us and I cannot leave him for such long time; a situation they are well aware of. I was not terminated at that time. It looks like the Company either wants to terminate me, or they want to lay me off temporarily, in a matter of days now. In the temporary layoff case, which is not in my Employment Contract either, I intend to clearly disagree with such arrangement. What do I have to do if they unilaterally put me on temporary layoff, starting with such and such date, to clearly demonstrate I disagree with the temporary layoff and that I stick with my Employment Contract? Should I keep on reporting at the Office as if nothing happened? Should I put my disagreement in writing and send it to them by Registered Mail? If they terminate me, what should I do, and not do? What should I say, and not say? Anyway, I'm aware it's going to end in termination. I would like to enjoy the rights and entitlemets according to the law. Thank you for your advice. Mike
