I signed an offer of employment in Toronto as well as the employer . I was to start in a week's time. I found out today that the employer rescinded the offer for no reason. The job was via an agency and they were informed yesterday after business hours At the time of the employer's interest in me I was sitting on a offer which he was told about from the outset. I turned the other job offer down in order to accept this one and now I have no job. He wrote in an email to the agent that an hour after he signed my offer and I accepted he received another resume and says the other candidate was a better fit. He did not indicate whether that employee was hired. My other question is also whether the agency shares any liability. The agency asked around and found that this is a wrongful dismissal. What is my recourse? I made arrangements since my furniture is in Ottawa and I am looking for another place but in Toronto.

I was hired full time and since been layed off (with no notice) due to shortage of work, I had a surgery scheduled and they layed me off, either due to that or the fact I questioned many of the company safety practices.

I worked for a company for 14 years, and on October 13, 2017 I was charged with a DUI. On of 14, 2017 I notified my employer of my charge and was assured that my employment was secure. I did provide my employer of all details and disclosed my conviction on November 9, 2017. From October 2017 to January 2, 2018 I received no indication warning of my termination, however on January 2 I was terminated because of my DUI charge a.nd received no compensation. What am I legally entitled to and what is the best course of action should I take due to the fact that the company has previous history of two other employees charged and convicted of DUI and still employed with the company.

My mom has worked at a retail job for 7 years and went down to 3 days a week. All of a sudden, her employer stopped scheduling her, never said anything to her, never laid her off.
