Hello I got fired from my job (sayers foods in apsley ON) when I went into correct my pay on my paystub as it was wrong. My boss Rick said everything was good so I said good and asked for another copy of my corrected paystub and instead he handed me a letter of employment termination and told me I lost my job. When I asked what for he said he didnt need a reason. I'm wondering what I can do now that I'm unemployed and have no idea why?

How long generally does it take from beginning (filing a wrongful dismissal/not adequate severance/dismissal pay) to receiving funds if trial has to be done.

I just been terminated from my work. I was administrator and director of care for a retirement home for 26 month. They started renovation this June and since then everything when worse. They surprise me with a meeting in the restaurant to let know that they will change my contrat. I went on sick leave right after for one month. They refuse to get my back to work on an friday but paid me that day. the following tuesday morning i was terminated. Every time that i was on vacation i had to keep my work cell on and answer text and call. they are offering me only the mininal as per labour board. the owner did share my personal email with his 2 co worker. I refuse the signed the letter.

If I have been terminated without cause, but then one is offered in writing after the termination, does this change things?

I was hired into a management position without the required degree. Employer was aware of this but was told they weren’t worried about it. I have recently seen the minutes of some senior leadership meetings that state the company should be stringent with the education requirements of leadership positions and should be monitored for compliance. Do I have any recourse if I’m told I need to fulfil the job requirements after I was told not to worry about it?
