I received a text message from an anonymous texting app. In the message it would seem a co worker is advising me that my manager has already told everyone else but me of my up coming termination and gas already begun training my replacement behind my back on my days off. I've worked for this place for more than 2 years and had taken a medical stress leave just over a year ago for harrassment in the work place. I'm not sure how to proceed with this information or what my rights and responsibilities are. Pkease advise ASAP as I'm scheduled to return on Monday and feel I would not be able to function properly at work should I return.

I worked for a Day Care for more than 2 years as an early childhood assistant. I was terminated on Friday may 4/2018 because one assistant told the principal that I didn't carry a 2 year old properly by his arms and I may have dislocated his joints, the child did not cry and he was not hurt at all. My termination was based on an assumption that I may have hurt the child. Can I fight this notice or termination and what are my rights?

I was terminated without cause shortly before the end of my probationary period. I was given 2 weeks pay in lieu of notice according to the termination clause in my employment contract. However, your severance calculator indicates that I am owed substantially more. I suspect that my age (late 60's) was a factor in my dismissal. Do I have any recourse in this matter?

So I have exceeded my sick days. I signed a contract with them stating that if i were to miss anymore days, I must submit a doctors note. My illness is related to mental illness which put me on short term last year. However, even tho i provided a doctors note, they terminated 2 days after returning to work. The also fired me without following up or reporting a workplace injury to WSIB. What can I do?

My wife and I have been superintendent in a building for 20 years. We have been let go and offered 50 weeks severance. Is that a correct amount? No initial contract was ever signed when we were first hired to give up any rights. We are 48 and 45 years old. I tried the calculator but didn't see an option for superintendent. Thanks
