Just went back to work from maternity leave was only there 1 week (Monday - Friday). On Sunday evening I was terminated and was not allowed to be back at work the next week. My termination papers say I refused to sign the Behaviour Management binder on my first day of work where 2 employees whitness it (the binder was revised while I was on maternity leave). I never refused to sign it, I only was told about it on Friday that it needed to be read and signed on my own time along with another booklet (employee handbook). On Saturday my boss messaged me on Facebook saying : I noticed you didn't sign the behaviour management, you will need to sign it on Monday or else you won't be able to start your shift. The next day on Sunday evening my boss writes to me on Facebook that I am terminated and that my ROE pay stub and termination papers will be mailed to me in the mail and I can call to arrange a time to pick up my belongings. Monday morning I called my work to arrange a time to pick up my belongings, my boss said 11am will be ok. She asked for a list of my belongings and when I got to my job at 11am all my stuff was packed in grocery bags at the door. On the Thursday I recieved my last pay cheque for the 1 week I was there and Friday I received my termination papers.
