Dear Sirs/Madam, I submitted a question to your organization about one month ago, and am wondering whether you have an opinion on my situation. Sincerely, Stephan Leavey.

I Had taken a day off sick on Sunday Nov. 8, 2015. My work told me I needed a doctors note for 1 day of work before I could return to work or I would be let go. My doctor is part of a heritage group and no on-call doctors are available in this group for walk in clinics on the weekend. The next morning before my scheduled shift I was told I was let go because I could not bring one in. Thou I told them I could not get 1 on the weekend for the scheduled day. I now received my ROE on Tuesday Nov.17, 2015 and on the ROE under "reason for issuing this ROE" it says "quit". Is this wrongful dismissal ? Should the Roe not say; let go, dismissal or something?

I volunteer at a local golf course and in return for services we are awarded a round golf for each 6 hours of work. Over a period of time the rounds build up, my question is if the golf course manager decides to fire me what happens to the accumulated rounds

I have been working for this company as a sale rep for 12 years. My pay structure was originally 8% of my sales. They then reduced it to 7% about 2 years ago commission paid 2 months after invoiced. They have now have totally changed it to a 75k base/draw and when my sales reach 1.5 million my commission would kick in and I would receive 5% on sales of existing clients and 7% on new business with commissions now payable at the end of each year. This is a drastic reduction in pay as well as the payable commissions only once a year. Please let me know what my options are are I have not signed it back. Thank you

Hello I was recently terminated from my job as patient transfer. My partner wrote an incident report on me that stated I went around a bus with the stop sign deployed and my emergency lights activated. 1) it is illegal to have the emergency lights on because we are not an emergency vehicle. 2) it is illegal to go around a bus with its stop sign deployed. I am studing to become an law enforcement officer so I am well aware of laws of the road and the rules of my employers. My partner wasn't even off probation and I being a year into this job had higher seniority. They took my partners side and terminated me. I filled a grevince with my Union for wrongful dismissal. The only problem is that they have no evidence that I did or didn't do it. Which also means they had no evidence to back up the report and for terminating me. What really happened was I was behind a bus that was making several stops so I decided to go around it. I signalled and pulled out but as I was just starting to pass the bus I noticed its lights go on ,but as I was already committed and I didn't fancy stopping and backing up behind it in a ambulance. I continued to pass it and I even noticed the bus driver looking in the mirror at me. The stop sign wasn't deployed and no emergency lights used. I don't know why they lied and did this. I really enjoy my job and want it back. Was this wrongful dismissal? How should they have approached this? If they won't give me my job back should I take it to court? Thank you.
