Can I be dismissed after I have already given my resignation? I had made intentions to resign my employment from my employer in December of 2016 as bullying towards me was relentless. On Febuary 21, I was contacted by and told that internal investigations was looking into allegations made against me. Nothing too serious. I notified my union of this immediately. I had been unwell and my union representative notified management and HR that as of February 22, I will be going on no pay sick leave effective immediately. As per the employer's request I surrendered all work and related items, and essentialy had no ties remaining with the employer on Febuary 22. On Febuary 24, I successfully sent a letter of resignation effective immediately to my employer and ensured I notified HR and the union and turned in my access cards. I am now being told that my resignation may be ignored and I may be dismissed instead with cause. Is this possible? Can my resignation be ignored and my unblemished record be stained instead with a dismissal? What are my legal rights? Where can I go for help? My union has not been helpful. All I want to do is sucessfully resign, work elsewhere and move on with my life. Please help.

I have been on WSIB for two years since a head injury at work. I was a manager with Lafarge Canada. After the injury I started having seizures and lost my license. I have been medically cleared for work for over a year. Lafarge stalked off until the two year mark claiming they had no jobs for me. I stated I was willing to relocate anywhere in Canada for Lafarge. They claim they still have no work for me. My work appraisals were always glowing and I had just won the business innovator award for Lafarge ECAN. I am being discriminated against because of my Aquired Brain Injry epilepsy. It is impossible they do not have a position of some type somewheee for me. Do I have any recourse?
