I work Monday to Saturday, but I'm sometimes on call on weekends cause I work at a car rental company. I slept through some calls and my manager messaged me to clean out my desk. I'm not getting paid for any after hours on the weekends. Since I am not paid, or working during my employed hours, does my manager have the rite to fire me for this? I am very good at my job, and it seems unprofessional on his end cause of his decision under distress. Also have have no written warning of termination prior to this text message telling me of my immediate termination.

I was fired after 36 years and only verbal. Never in writing. Can they do this? It was because someone lied and said I called the Boss a not nice name hich I can prove I did not. Dont know what to do

My husband got an wrongful dismmisal regarding of safety in June. Also, I fired because my husband fired and we needed to leave together. I had no issue and I was working as an assistant manager My husband didn't refuse to serve the customers for filling up the propane gas. He asked to get a certificate of propane handling because he has no knowledge of any dangerous situation. He only know a little bit how to fill up. Nobody has the certificate for propane handling. However, the owner/GM refused and he fired us together. It is located in very small town from Edmonton. Population is about 3000 around. From Edmonton, it takes 8 hours. Honestly, we moved from BC to this small town. We spent a lot of money for moving. The owner/GM supposed my husband get the certificate of propane, because he said so at first we met. But he didn't keep that promise. Anyway, we moved from AB to Ontario because more jobs, more opportunities. We have two kids. Very struggling moment when we moved out of that town to ontario. We'd like to Sue on him because he doesn't keep the safety. He said it is okay, it's not dangerous. But he fired us because my husband asked to get the certificate. What should we do?
