I had Dr note saying I was sick. But it was considered an attempt to make it seem like there was a sickness that was not real. So instead of accepting the Dr note my emoter gave me an AWOL and I was fired

I work for gasbar retail station. My shifts usually starts at 2pm to 10pm. We used to get pay until 10:15 to 10:30pm but not anymore. My question is can I closed the station at 9:55pm so I can leave at 10:01pm?

I worked for a company for 11 years and was injured on the job my employer could not take me back due to no suitable work for me. I was wondering what was the process in regards to this. Are they obligated to give an R.O.E and entitled to a termination settlement

I have worked for the same company for 31 years I am a supervisor. last month my boss hit the desk with his fist and said for fuck sakes and walked out of his office. last week he told me he did not think I wanted to be a supervisor, I asked what else do you have for me and he said nothing. Now HR is telling me to pick a job. How much severance would I receive as I am 55 years old, I do feel harassed working for this guy. We employ over 300 people.

I got a job offer from a new company so I decided to quit my current job. I changed my LinkedIn profile title to the new job on Sunday (12th) night - the VP of the current company somehow found out (I had my 'broadcast updates' option off) and the word spread. The president called me into his office on Monday (13th) morning and asked me why my LinkedIn title has changed. I told him I was planning to give my 2 weeks notice today, and he subsequently got angry and basically told me to 'get my stuff and get out right now'. He followed me to my desk and watched me grabbing my stuff in front of everyone, and again told me to 'leave everything & just grab your stuff and go' (which was an embarrassing scene). So I grabbed my stuff and left. Am I still entitled to the 2 weeks pay even though I'm not working during these 2 weeks (I was willing to do work to ensure smooth transition)? If so, how do I make sure that I get this 2 weeks payment? Our pay periods are evenly divided into 2 periods in a month. The HR guy later sent me an email saying my official last day at the company was the 13th and I should be getting the Employment Record very soon. The president didn't even receive the official 2 weeks notice letter - instead just told me to get out in the heat of the moment. Is this wrongful dismissal? What are my rights and what am I entitled to?
