I was terminated after 9 years 9 months of employment after I was put on a performance improvement plan after complaining of bullying from a managers relative. Before the plan I had no previous discipline of any sort. During the performance plan, the employer falsified my performance (ie no documentation of my factually doing anything wrong). The treatment on the program amounted to harassment to the point where I was injured. I did not want to tell the actual reason for my injury at a WSIB meeting ( in fear of losing my job). After the injury my leader was setting me up for a similar situation that lead to my injury, so I told the leader that this was the case. ( as I was also asking not to be put in the situation) one week following the omission I was terminated, and my claims never investigated. I did ask the employer to perform a harassment investigation during this time also, which they did, but I had no procedural fairness. Ie. was not allowed to respond to respondents facts, 3 of my 4 witnesses were not interviewed, leader and coordinators statements taken as fact (no supporting evidence). The employer did not follow procedures or policies for progressive discipline, performance plan, harassment complaints, harassment investigation, hearing workplace complaints. Does this sound legal?. I was terminated"without cause"

A mentally ill employee was let go 32 months ago without termination pay. The ROE was said the employee left for personal health reasons but was told he was not allowed to return until he had a doctor's note saying that he was fit to return. Is it too late to file a wrongful dismissal claim?

I gave 1 well notice .. the same day my employee replied they will accept my resignation immediately and I am only allowed to return to retrieve my belongings. I was told my the labour board that is considered technical termination as I am not allowed to finish the week there for is not giving me proper notice . Are they required to pay me one week wage because of not proper notice ?

I'm a truck driver fired today after 12 years with the company. Three weeks ago we were told overtime is mandatory. Two weeks ago, I yelled at my boss "mandatory for all employees or just some of us" as I have been unfairly targeted by a supervisor, who saw fit to consistently assign me extra work. Overtime was paid after 40 hours and I had worked 42.5. Like I said I was fired today with no notice or explanation.
