Highered under false pretence

I was let go from my job for a breach of confidentiality accusation. This was not proven by any documents , and then was asked to sign a document which would absolve my employer of any wrongdoing ( in lieu of me getting a letter of recommendation for a job well done !) My contract was negotiated for every six months , that would bring my contract ending to January 2017. I believe i have a case , what are your thoughts ?

I was fired because my employers accused me of fraud which was never proven, because trhe person who did the fraud said I was invovled; this person has no knownledge who I am or what's my name the person only said my name on my name tag,there was no police report of the fraud accusations and they refuse to provide information of the person providing making the allegations however I was still let go because the employer claim the relationship will not be the same! Is this grounds for wrongful dismissal.

I work in the call center industry and half been with my company for 4.5 years. We are a small group in the portfolio that I work in, and for the last few months we have been extremely shorthanded in our ability to get work done. I am concerned that there may be a possibility that the client will end the relationship. In that case, I may be moved to a different portfolio or if there is no position than let go. I know in the past that this employer will move people to other portfolios and after 1 year reduce there wages if it is not a job at the same expertise level. Also, they could change my hours of 10 to 6pm and affect my part time evening job I do 3 nights a week. This I take it would be a constructive termination I believe. Also, in my industry, as an hourly worker, I would think that I would still be owed severance, but I am unsure on how it works in this industry. Your assistance is appreciated.

My spouses employment was terminated three months before the end of her signed contract . She was told it was due to a Business contract confidentiality clause. The owner has not proven that she uas said anything in regards to this allegation, and is now saying that the reason for termination is a lack of funds to pay her ase the general manager. She was given 15 days to vacate premises, ase both she and i live on-site ! Does she have a case of wrongful dismissal?
