I have been a dept manager for a big box retailer for 17 years with an excellent record, no right ups either. I have decided to open up a small butcher shop in a town where there is no grocery store to do on the side as my current job. I let my employer know of my intentions and that we dont open until june 1st. I was called up to the office yesterday and was told to resign by next monday or i will be terminated with cause because i am in direct competition with another big box sister company 15km away in another town. The shop i want to open is under 1000 sq feet and they feel i am a threat. We are not even open yet and they want me gone. Can they do this without paying me severance or termination pay?

My time with my company has been 11 years and I've been leaving work a lot lately due to the stress in he facility and medical issues ( some) do I get termination pay ? And unemployment ?

My employer falsified the reason for my termination. The HR person deliberately changed the facts surrounding the termination, lied and was uncooperative with the EI investigator and then forged a signature on the new termination letter of an another senior manager. All the acts were done in with intent to deny me EI benefits All of these allegations are very easily proveable. Two federal crimes were committed. Who ddo i see to file a complaint with . Rcmp, ontario Labor Board, local police.
