I'm turning 65 this October and planning to give notice on my birthday. My employer, a large Canadian bank, requires at least 90 days retirement notice. I've been working for them since 2005. They have put me on to some troubled projects that no one wants to work on. Is this a way of forcing me to resign so they don't have to give me my retirement benefits, including lifelong group health insurance? Can they lay me off before I give notice, or during my notice period to save costs? I've been getting good performance appraisals every year and plan to provide excellent service until my last working day (not slack off).

If I was fired mid shift, do I get paid for the 6 hour shift?
