I worked a job for about 6 months, then found out my wife was pregnant. 14 months later I took parental leave, and upon returning, the schedule I was working "was no longer available" and I was not able to work this new schedule (more days per week) because of childcare issues. I provided multiple options which were all refused, and thus resigned from the position because I was told that they would consider me for another position that was opening up shortly, but that I needed to resign as the position was not yet available. when the position was posted I was never considered even though I was one of the most qualified candidates. I applied the following year for this same position (they hire multiple people yearly for it), and was not considered again. I resigned in April 2015. I feel that I was forced to resign, not accommodated due to child care issues, and not being hired for a job I am qualified for because of my prior employment issue. Do I have merit for a constructive dismissal and/or other civil or human rights issues?

So I was hired for a full time position mon to fri 4-1130pm. In June and 2 weeks ago I was informed that the girl on maternity leave was returning. I signed an employement agreement and no where within it and nor was I told that this was temporary. I have since been notified that they know they are in the wrong but they must give her back her job. As for me they seem to be scrambling. What are my rights and what am I entitled to?
