I have been placed on administrative leave because someone filed a complaint about my attendance and overall attitude at work. I have the most senior position in a retail store. My question is should I admit to my alcohol problem to save my job and will this save my job if the investigation shows I did have poor attendance and frequent leave early come in late.

I have been working for the same family on and off for a couple of years now.. today they told me that they don’t need me no more because the kids are off school.. they didn’t give me any notice.... they currently owe me 2 weeks vacation pay and should they not be required to give 2 more weeks pay for no time?

My employer fired me because my coworker who was the driver got a ticket is that right? Was that not wrongful dismissal?

My employer is forcing me to quit without giving me a valid reason and my union is not of much help even though I have 16 years of seniority. Secondly, the company is supposed to accommodate employees for medical reasons according to Human Rights but our union would not even fight for me. Could you advise me what to do. I'm lost and helpless

I was just fired from a job I held for 9 months. I was given my vacation pay, one week in lieu of pay and was told "it's just not working out". Would not give any other explanation. When saying goodbye to another employee they mentioned I didn't do anything wrong and that there is just not enough hours for a full time employee right now. It is a family run, small business, the one daughter went on maternity leave in August with NO plans to come back to work. My position was a permanent position. As I was leaving, the daughter was pulling in, and looks like she was coming back to work and I was let go. Shouldn't I have been laid off and not fired?
