I was offered employment in a remote town up in Northwestern Ontario. They asked me to come up within weeks of receiving the offer and I gave up my apartment, my job and left all my belongings behind and packed my clothes and came. I was working as a child care worker for exactly 3 months and when I walked into work, they told me I was terminated. It was due to a condition on my criminal record check but they had no more to offer me on this. I got my 3 week pay which was short all my overtime from being on call during the Easter holidays. I am now stuck here and am very worried as to what I will be able to do now. My age is 54. They also owe my expenses from traveling which is part of my job. I haven’t received any of this since I started 3 months ago and it is calculated to approximately $1500. They gave me no answers to any severance or when this willl be paid. I am thinking I have a law suit against this organization. I am a social worker who has worked in this field for about 10 years and never had an issue.
