I was just "let go" from my current job because "I voiced my opinion on Facebook and I was offensive". Please note that these posts are on my private account; unless you are a friend you cannot see anything. These posts were about AMERICAN POLITICS, Obama and Islam. These were made personally on my own time, at home. Is this even possible???

I waseriously of sick leave since April 2016. I sent my job my return to work form that advised I was to start back partime and weekly my hours would increase to full time. Within 24 hours of submitting my RTW letter I was terminated.be My boss felt I was not 100% mentally and physically capable ( he has never contacted me once in all the time I have been off) He stated this in the termination letter. On the RTW letter the doctor side I was very capable. They gave me 3 weeks severance. What do I do?

i have been an employee with my company for almost 2 years. i was terminated for a different reason then this question however i have had several complaint about 2 coworkers that were constantly harassing me at work and outside of work. i put in several complaints about them and nothing was done. they just dismissed the complaints and let them continue to harass me without dicipline. when i was dismissed today on an unrelated questionable incident, I asked if it was due to an incident with a coworker and they replied yes. is this ok? and should i take action against the company?

Hi, I was off work for medical reasons since mid April. I have Dr. Notes for the entire time I was off work. The last Dr. Note stated that I can return to work on July 25 (today) for 4 hours per day. I contacted my employer last Tuesday and informed them I can only return for 4 hours per day as per my Dr note. On Friday I received a letter via registered mail saying my job is terminated. I worked there for 5 years. Not sure what to do now. Is this wrongful termination? Thank you

If you have filed a WSIB claim for an injury at work, can you still pursue a wrongful dismissal claim, or do you give up that right because of WSIB?
