No reason for terminating is possible to take back my job

Recently I was suspended by a employer because I brought a flask to work which contained some alcohol.I recently came from an office party and left it in my jacket for after work.Unfortunately the container leaked some product unto the floor which the manager discovered.He mentioned that I was to go home with the rest of the week off until further contacted by upper management.That call never came so I called the management whom I was told would handle this.they said they would call me back but never did.Should I treat this as a wrongful dismissal and am I entitled to severance.Thank-you in advance

I was terminated after notifying my employer that I would not be attending unpaid training session. It is a retail organization. The employer threatened me with termination when I asked for information on my rights.

My employment letter says my hours are 8:30-5 . In the past 2 years I consistently start early and stay late. As an Operations Manager I am always available after hours for my installers, travel on Sundays to save money and consistently work more than allotted time with no extra compensation.or lieu time given. We recently moved and as my wife is looking for a new job she is commuting which means 1 or 2 times a week I have to drop off or pick up my kids at daycare. It means I am starting at 9 on those days or leaving at 4:15 to meet the caregivers hours on either end of the day. By the end of the week I have still put in more than 40 hours, my reports have doubled and we are achieving record sales/install weeks. The boss has recently said he expects me to be in the office by 8:30 every day knowing the reason for my 30 minute delay. Do I have any options?

My employment offer first as an Installation Supervisor and now Operations Manager includes a company vehicle. It is annual review time and boss offered no increase or give up car for 10k raise. When I said no as car worth more than that he has started nit picking everything about my performance which has never been better and scope keeps expanding. I believe he is trying to bully me out of the car because the head office in U.K. Is pressuring him to do so. Can he do that?
