I was let go from a job I was at because I questioned why I was the only one person in a group of 5 others excluding the foreman to stay home while everyone else worked. After confronting the foreman asking for an explanation why I was being singled out of th group for that week I received a call late in the evening Friday by the foreman saying there is no work for me and to contact my Union. I've asked several times when I can get my ROE so I can see te reason as to why I was let go since I still have not received an answer from anyone. Is there anything I can do in this case as I am going on my third week now with no work and no pay

I got let go with no reason after almost 4 months. I printed some resumes to find a second job because I wasn't getting by on my bills, and I got fired. With one weeks pay

Wrongful dismissal - I have been released from my position and offered a serverence package but have not signed any papers. My position has been posted internally - same job grade, fewer accountabilities and as both my director and manager were dismissed too, the position is reporting to a different name. I just want to know if I have any rights.

After working as an accountant at a private Ontario company for 2 years, 11 months and 2 days, I was told that they would have to let me go because the company was having financial problems and they needed to cut down. They said I would leave in 2 weeks. My question is would I be entitled to 2 weeks or 3 weeks termination pay? And also am I entitled to any other compensation. They never made mention of anything until today and they just fired me. Thank you.

I was terminated without cause after 4yrs. I was given a cheque equaling 4 wks pay after taxes. I was given no reason for the termination other than " it wasnt working for him anymore". From reading this forums questions it seems like it was not enough money. If somebody could set me straight on this it would be appreciated Thanks DA
