On my birthday I was sent home for "Not having proper cash flow" and I never was put on the schedule after. Never heard from the manager. When I talked to a couple other employees they heard down the pipeline that I quit. I called the manager and showed up to the restaurant but he dodged my contact. Do i have a claim for constructive dismissal?

I was terminated for breaking policy and procedure. As I was entering the building I threw my cigarette off to the side where a fire later resulted. The company was aware of employees smoking this close to the building, and even put a cigarette but can in that same area. They also allow smoking in an area that is not 30 feet from a door. They have a video of me throwing my cigarette butt, who is to say that it was mine that caused the fire as there is unseen area on the security camera.
