I've been working for an employer for 12 years. Never had any issues. I took a medical leave due to stress and I was fired for theft the day after I submitted my 2nd doctor's note. My co workers started she was angry with me for not coming back. I want to know if it's legal to be terminated while on sick leave if it's for something like theft

I was hired for a summer job at a lavender farm, for the role of an equine handler/ rider. During the interview process, I was informed that my primarily duties would include handling the equine herd, harvesting the lavender (once it had bloomed), and possibly working the ice cream and admissions booths. However, after my first day, I learned that my entire summer would be completing both commercial and personal property maintenance; both of which, were not highlighted in the job description or during the interviews. I do not have a background in general labour, and did not indicate that I did to any of the employers during the hiring process. After completing one day of intensive labour, I fell very sick from heat exhaustion, and was forced to take a day off work (which I promptly contacted my employer, to inform them of what had happened). The following day, I sent my employer an email, highlighting the concerns I was having with the position, and inquired if there was something that could be done that fit better with my skill set. The following day, my employer called me to inform me that I was fired, without providing me with an explanation or allowing me a chance to try a different job within the farm. Before being hired, I purchased $1000 in new riding equipment, which was needed for this position. I am wondering what I should do in regards to this situation, and what further actions I can take, as I am now unemployed and trying to seek another job (although most summer jobs have already been filled).
