Can't keep up to the target speed everyday but I do minimal target am employed full time they been warning my brother that I might be let go what should I do.

I was allowed to take unpaid time off (10weeks) with no objection from my direct manager (I have texts for almost all days taken off). However, on return to a full time position (I was studying during time taken off) I was told that I would have to move to another location, under a different management, and perform hands on (labour) work instead of my usual production coordinator role (which includes mostly clerical work, with hands on work for “special assignments.”) I’ve told them that if they needed me for a short period of time to “help” the company it wouldn’t be an issue, but they’ve told me it’s a full time position or nothing. I’ve told them that since the job function is significantly going to change and the management too, I don’t really feel it’s fair for me to switch roles. Also, they haven’t asked anyone else at the current location I work, and I feel I’m being targeted (others have taken plenty days off too). They’ve talked to me two times and there’s another meeting the next week. I feel pressured and have had sleepless nights from wondering if I will be fired around Xmas. Please advise if I have any rights against the management for the issue. I’m thinking of either quitting and finding another job or taking them to court if I have a reason. Thank You and Best Regards.

Hy I was terminated last Tuesday because I refused to work at 2 of their restaurant locations. I was working as a head waiter for a franchised Greek restaurant for 13 years at various locations acrythe gta. Can this be considered wrongful dismissal?

I sent an email to our HR to indicate the potential for Right to Refuse work due to unsafe working conditions. She acknowledged the email. The very next morning at 0700hrs my contract was ended. THEN a few days later they indicated they did not "remember" my fixed-term contract was actually over Nov 30/18 not Oct 26/18. They offer a week's severance. I feel this was a reprisal for the Right to Refuse email. I've emailed the Ontario Labour Relations Board and have to speak to Worker Advisory. I'd like to get paid out for the remaining of my contract

My question is that on Friday I was no longer employed by the company that I had worked for approx. 15 years as a Sales Event Co-ordinator. I was informed though that my position and expertise had been accepted by another company that had purchased the division of the corporation that I had worked for. What am I owed monetarily as a severance for this just informed change of employment. What are my rights moving forward.
