If am bring accused of wrongful accusations and assumptions to something that had never happened, and am now being dismissed for such reasons what can I do? In the past 4 months I have received my 1st probation letter in which I reluctantly signed after some adjustments. Since that time, I have been given a raise, and a great review from the office. Now, I called in sick for 1 day they requested a doctors note and I've given them one. I have been seeing my doctor for an on-going issue and provided a document stating so. Today I returned to work with yet another probation letter in front of me. (Mind you I am the ONLY person to be given one let alone two) The current probation letter states 4 points that are false accusations that were made by another employee regarding workplace standards. They refused to go over it with me at the office and demanded I sign it or be terminated. At the end of the letter it states (IN PEN!) If I miss work or late I'm fired among a few other things that all lead to being terminated. In this probation letter it also states that if I sign it and they decide to terminate me that I will receive no severance pay after 4 years of service.

I was transferred from Canada to the US last summer. A contract was formed between me and my employer which outlined I must gain residency in the US, and my job position and title was defined. There was also a clause in the contract that under under the Ontario laws of dismissal, I would be eligible for two years of pay, plus benefits. This contract was signed by both parties and I moved my family. The company is now asking me to work in Canada. They are being vague on details and I'm concerned me and my family will suffer. Since they are changing work location, title and responsibilities, do I have grounds to hold them to the original agreement and ask for dismissal?

Looking for a trial lawyer, wrongful dismissal, no junior/unexperienced lawyers.

I was put on a leave of absence from my employer after 13 years of working there. I had finished radiation treatment 5 weeks before hand. I had worked through my cancer treatments (went to work everyday, went to treatment then worked from my computer at home). I received my ROE to discover that I had been dismissed. I was not told why I was being dismissed. I received no severance package. Do I have a case?

Can my employer reduce my hourly wage?
