My employer has/had a store that was going to be closed down but moving.. So my job was safe... Until last Friday and I was told the store was closing not moving bam out of a job... I just went into one of my last scheduled shifts to be told I wasn't needed and my job was done I'm laid off.... But the store is being demolished.. So laid off from what nothing is going into that spot?? I have worked for them for 2 years and I'm pretty sure they don't want to pay severance... What should I do???

How much period of time do I have to report a wrongful dismissal & Also what information do I need in order to prove? I have the contract to prove I was working with the company but not the checks. Will the bank be able to recieve my bank statements to prove I got paid on the 9th & the 23rd on of every month of 2017

Who do I contact to report a wrongful dismissal within the work place

Hi i was recently terminated from my job on Monday. The reason I was Terminated was because I refused to do a certain job for my employer. The reason I refused my employer to do the job was because another employee was making me do his job for him. I believed this was very unfair and told my boss I won't accept an unfair work practice and he then told me to go home. What do you think am I within my rights to refuse an unfair work request from my employer.

I was with a company for three and a half years. Pretty much ran the front desk and office and yesterday I was told I am not a good fit anymore for the company as the company is taking a new direction. They offered me a severance package paying me up till the end of the year, however I feel their way they did this is absolutely wrong, I haven't signed the offer or release form yet. I have to return it by November 5, 2018. I have no written warnings and I would come in early and stay late for 3 and half years and just like that I am no longer a good fit for their company. Is there anything I can do in this situation?
