I was sworn at by a spitting mad boss on the 15th of this month and termenated on the 17of this month. I found out that my employer posted a job opening for my position on the 15th the same day that I had been humiliated on. Also the previous week I had taken sick time off (3 days) for a reoccurring medical condition that my employers were aware of. There are other issues. Do I have any legal actions or recourse that I can take?

I was fired for being late, however management did not adhere to store policy regarding a "3 Strike Rule" for employee termination. I have exceeded the 90 day probation period, and have yet to receive a single written strike. This decision by management to fire me came without notice, and has yet to be met with proper compensation. What should my next steps be?

Is it illegal for an employer to send a last paycheck in the mail?

Hello, I recently was issued an r.o.e. from the bank i had been working for. This is what happened in a nutshell. I went on stress leave after my doctor advised me too. When ready I was to meet with a mediator and branch manager to discuss what I could come back to seeing my stress restrictions. My manager said I should be on long-term disability and signed off saying I couldn't work the branch anymore. The insurance company denied me long-term disability as my doctor was saying I could return to work with limited duties. So here I am, no job, was ready and willing to return to work and denied. I was cut off from all dental and other insurances and then sent a record of employment. My question is...Would this resemble a typical wrongful dismissal case? I feel like I was left with nothing after all the work I had put in.

Good afternoon. I was terminated from my employer this morning after working my full shit (I am a midnight worker and my shift is 11pm-7am). At approximately 6:30am I was asked by my boss to attend a private meeting. There was my supervisor, my supervisors Manager and an HR representative present. The Manager said that "we do not feel that you are going to be a part of the companys future and the company is going in a different direction and does not feel that there is a future here with you (I) in it". I was given paperwork that I did not sign. The paperwork does not give a clear reason or any indication as to why I'm being terminated. The managers and myself have not had a good standing relationship after being accused of selling narcotics at the work place two months ago and was never proven. I was not disciplined for that incident, however I did sign a letter stating that I was aware of the accusation. I have received a text message from a coworker this morning stating that the Manager has already announced to the entire day crew that I have been terminated which I feel is a breach of my privacy. I would like to know if I have grounds for a wrongful dismissal case. Thank you in advance.
