What is the process on how to claim constructive dismissal? I feel very strongly my daughter has a case

I am 25 years old, in the service industry for 10 years now. I was working for 6 months at a bar/restaurant, and had a serious personal issue with my boyfriend that was scary and upsetting. I always showed up to work, but after a rude customer I had a break down. My manager, coworkers, and the owner were nothing but consoling and took over and sent me home. My manager walked me home. Sat in my kitchen, with a pen and paper making a plan. I felt like I couldn’t say no. They booked me an air bnb, had me walked to work, and gave me a week off and shifts not to close till I was okay. This actually made everything worse as they did not know my actual personal situation. It was very hard and personal and I didn’t care for the staff because they are very disrespectful. I got fired the other day from the owner saying because I got rid of my shift for an appointment, didn’t call in sick I just asked, they said it was fine..... my former girl coworkers went to my boss saying I was seen that night with my boyfriend in heels at 245 am. When I showed up for my next shift... that was the exact circumstance my boss had told me why I was fired. I do not think my personal life, that they forcefully got involved with, was appropriate. Seeing me with my ex boyfriend, is none of there business as they do not know what I go through. I am not friends with them. I love there idea to help me, I get it, but they made it worse. And fired me for something personal. What do I do?

Is there a deadline on how long I have to send my boss a letter requesting Pay in Lieu of Notice after I have been terminated with cause, without severance pay? I was not given ANY verbal or written notices of my"willful misconduct" prior to my termination. I was fired on April 3 and I still have not received my ROE (I've checked my mail and my online Service Canada account). Thanks, Christie

My 18 year old son worked seasonally for a garden nursery for four months last year and was just hired on again in March 2018 to work for the summer season. He worked twelve shifts, and then during one shift his supervisor had him lifting very heavy rocks out of bins and onto tables (fully bending over so not able to lift safely or properly). He sustained a groin injury. He went to emergency and had ultrasound. Before the results were obtained (turned out to be just a pulled muscle), he presented his employer with a doctor's note as he had to miss four shifts to recuperate. Upon returning to work, he received a letter indicating that due to a shortage of work he would be laid off from seasonal employment. Do we seem to be justified to pursue this as a wrongful dismissal?
