Hello there. So I've been employed for over a year, I was moved from a storefront worker, to a baker and received a pay raise in April of this year. For the past 6 years I've struggled severely with depression, and anxiety, and I had made my enployer aware of my illnesses prior to my employment. The end of July, a long-coming relapsing episode struck and I had made an attempt on my own life. I was hospitalized and put into a ward (which I have my medical and discharge papers). The day of the incident an immediate family memeber called my place of work and explained the situation to a supervisor/manager, and also called the managers personal and left a message. once I got out of the hospital and was cleared stable to work again ( approximately 3-4 days after my release because the drugs had to completely get out of my system) I messaged another employee to send me the schedule (the week of July 31-August 6) in which my name had been removed from the schedule. When I contacted my manager she was very vague with me not giving an explanation or even telling me if I am still employed or not. I have not cause any problems or had behaviour on which was ground for dismissal. I worked hard, I had perfect attendance (except the day prior, my water, internet and I though my heat was to be shut off and I had to take care of 3 children under the age of 7 - in which a notice and explanation of my absence was STILL put in). I feel wronged, and as if I have been treated unfairly. Is there anything I can do? Can I get my job back? Can I fight this? What can I do about this, if there is anything?

good morning. 1 was given an unpaid 3 day suspension for an allegation I did not say, to which he did not talk to me about it, the " case" was more than a year old , I was not given the chance to see the claimant or witness statement. It was a witch hunt. Employed for 7 1/2 years not even one written or verbal warning. I've contacted the president and he of our company and they want to sit down to discuss my concerns . I did NOT say what was said and have. I cannot stomach going back in.
