After dismissal from a site, can the company then refuse allowance to gather my belonging if escorted?

Worked for a company for 13 years. Took only 2 days off sick in the 13 years until I was off following surgery starting in December 2014. Returned to work earlier than doctor's recommendation this morning and was met my 2 company officials who told me that I was terminated effective immediately. Was told the reason was company realignment. I have been checking my e-mail and communicating with the company on a daily basis during my medical leave and was not given any indication of realignment or notice that termination might occur.

On April 2014 I was terminated from a part time job I held for about 7 years. The reason given for termination was highly exaggerated and no notice given in the morning of the day I was booked to work I was fired. Do I have any recourse and have I run out of time to file ?

I was recently terminated from my employer. I wasn't a reason for the termination. I was given a severance pay of 4 additional pay cheques. When asked why I was terminated, my employer told me that I wasn't a good fit for the company. To date I have never been written up, nor have I been disciplined for any wrong doings. I have a perfect working record otherwise. Does a company need a reason to terminate me? I believe, but do not have proof, that my immediate supervisor disliked me. I was a manager at my place of employment and had a good working relationship with my immediate employees. Is there anything I can do?

I have recently been dismissed from a job under circumstances that I have no awareness of. I am have a full time contract position which terminates shortly, but had an interview booked with HR for a full time position with this company. My immediate supervisor was willing to give me a letter of recommendation for this full time position. I have worked hard fulfilling all of the companies requirements and am well liked. I am in a state of shock, unaware of the alleged reasons for my dismissal and cannot believe what has happened to me. Something is really wrong with this situation, it does not make sense to me and I have been wrongfully dismissed. Do I have any recourse?
