I was laid off from my job as an IT technician working for a local computer repair company due to a shortage of work. I'm unemployed, searching for work, and I just found out that my previous employer hired a friend from their church to do my job part time. They never attempted to contact me. I always thought that if a company laid you off due to a shortage of work that they had to call you first and give you first chance at the job again. Is this true?

I quit my job at CIBC and joined an IT company on a full time basis. They said I was doing a good job but now after almost 3 months they laid me off saying I was not the right fit. When I started I had another job opportunity as well but I chose to work with them. They lilied to me and used me for their selfish reasons. In this economy I had three options now I am unemployed. Do I have any case to go after them.

I was fired for sexual harrassmen to but I do not believe it was, I think it was horse play. I had a sexual harassment claim brought up against me by a female employee and I am aslo I female. They had on camera that I sat on her lap and she pushed me off, everyone was laughing about it. I then joked with her saying she owed me money for her lap dance. She laughed and replied that all this is meant for one woman. She also told them that i refused to pay her her tips. They investigated the situation but never told me anything about it until they made their decision and then they wanted my side of the story but at that point it didn't matter. I do not believe that I sexually harassed her seeing that I don't like girls and she does. I worked for the company 4 1/2 years and this is the first time something like this has happened. Is their anything I can do?

My workplace just terminated me because I exercised my equal right to go topless at another establishment. Is that legal grounds for termination?
