I was an employee for 5 years. My employer made me sign a drug and alcohol policy under duress. This all originated from hear say by another individual.

I was terminated today for cause. No severance was issued. Am I entitled?

My mom was under stress and collapsed and rushed to the hospital at her work place of 20 years she is the front manager at a large restaurant corporation. She's been rejected sick leave as they claim their company does not offer sick leave and they advised her to take a 2 month vacation instead. She took vacation last week and yesterday was informed that she has been replaced and cannot return as manager. However she is currently on vacation are hey able to revoke her of her position i believe this is wrongful dismissal. She has doctors note stating she may return to work next week and when she brought this to the general manager their response was sorry you've been replaced. Please contact me asap as tonight is the staff holiday dinner and they are distributing bonuses I am afraid they will revoke her off that as well as they're claiming she has been replaced even though she is currently on "vacation"
