I worked an overnight full-time floor cleaning job at the Superstore for a contractor who himself works for United Cleaning Services, who holds the cleaning contract for all Loblaws stores. I began on August 1st when my former boss and contractor was fired by United. I was re-hired same day by the new contractor. He let me go for no reason on August 29th. No reason was given. I found out later by two independent sources that the guy who worked for the same contractor at the local Food BAsic had told lies about me to the contractor in an effort to fire me and get his buddy hired which is what happened. These two sources gain nothing from making up a story like that. One of the sources got it right from the guy at Food Basics himself. I am also preparing to sue him for my pay for the month that I worked for him. He will not answer any emails or texts from either myself or the area manager at United that I have had trying to help me. I want to know if I have a case for wrongful dismissal.

I work for a Molly Maid franchise and the owner has advised me that she is selling and closing the business. The new owners will not require me. My last day of work will be Friday Nov 28. I have worked as her Assistance and Office Manager for 2.5 years. What compensation should I expect and when should it be paid out?

I was the subject of harassment by a co-worker for over 2 months. I repeatedly asked my boss to deal with it. He had a sit-down with myself and the other person after close to a month in to the problem. The behaviour continued. I elevated my complaint to HR almost a month later. The problem was solved with the other person. The very next day, my boss assigned me to a less desirable shift. I was left stunned. I went home part way through the shift (both from exasperation and exhaustion). The company then presented me with a warning letter about leaving and that I never reported my departure to anyone. I had indeed informed my co-worker. I have been terminated (for cause). There are other elements but this is the gist.
