Contract was not renewed last January and I continued to work. Now the president is claiming that I quit as I didn't apply. All passwords have been changed. What do I do now? Do I have a case?

He blames ADP for not knowing what they are doing and has daily excuses for why this has not been resolved. On Friday I filed a claim with the Ministry of Labour for unpaid wages, but I believe this is a very clear cut case of Constructive Dismissal and would like some advice as to how I should proceed.

I worked for a year as a server. I was assaulted in the workplace (going through court now) and felt unsafe to return to work, so I resigned. After the initial shock of the incident, and knowing the that my safety was secured, I requested to return to work. They have refused my return to work. Is there anything that can be done?

can I get employment insurance?
