I akm a professional who has been working on a part time basis for this rehab facility and there other locations for about 2 yr. I was hired in Feb '15 to work alternate weekends at one of their locations and received a termination letter last week. Reason given was restructuring and re-organization and other lame excuses. am i entitled to any severance?

I have received a ROE with reason "D" (illness or injury). I have received no letter of explanation or money. I have been employed since Jan 2009 and on LTD since Sept 2010. Is this legal?

can i be fired for medical reason (injury out of work) some task i can 't do) i ve been working for 7 years and i always had or have good work comment.

I was called into work to pick up my weekly cheque and was brought in the room and was told I was being let go? The reasoning behind this is they watched the cameras to see me sitting on the back counter ledge (taught to do by another employee) playing on my phone (no longer then 5 min and was told it was OK as long as not in front of customers by same other employee) that I didn't do my work (which is wrong because I always had my work done) and that my boyfriend visited too often (which was because he would stop to grab money or get gas (worked at Petro) too many visits) the other two employees are on their phones constantly and have people visiting all the time. One goes out every 5 min for a half hour smoke and the other is always on the counter or outside. Yet I was let go without notice or pay in lieu of and I was there just over the 3 month period of probation. Is this a wrongful dismissal? It is discrimination based on me being there less time than the others.

I was let go on October 26, 2015 out of the blue do to a customer writing a five page letter about me to the owner of the company I worked for. He did not give me a chance to have my say about the situation, and as well I had never had any type of warning prior to this situation. I feel that he should of at least sat down with me to figure out what was going on and The fact the customer was not always right with regards to the issue.
