I work on my ex husband company , his mother fired me after separation! I was 6 month pregnant! I was employed for 7 years and was making $300 a week and $300 as of bonus pay from my ex husband yearly bonus, how much severance I should get paid if any ? For letting me go without notice? And can I apply wrongful termination and human rights violations?

My employer asked me to switch departments or be let go last month. I used to work in the old position and they said they needed my help. I decided to switch back to the old department. Now, they are asking me to help in both departments with no extra compensation after they promised I would not be doing this. What are my rights? I feel like leaving the company but I don't want to lose any severance or unemployment insurance I deserve while looking for another job.

I was fired for cause after almost 11 years with my employer and given no severance, but the reasons listed are false. They are essentially lies.

My employment with the biggest home renovation retailer in Canada was terminated yesterday, apparently for "inappropriate associate behaviour," but they would not give me any specifics that warranted my termination. Knowing that I did nothing wrong to warrant this, they then wanted me to sign an "acknowledgement" that they've informed me of their decision, to which I refused to sign anything and they proceeded to inform me that since I was not signing, that I couldn't keep my copy of the notice of termination. Should I choose to "go after them" for wrongful dismissal, is there a certain timeframe that I need to use to make the step? I would like to consult with an employment lawyer, can someone send me an email with details on the process, pricing, etc.? I've never had to consider this before. Thanks.
