Working at a daycare I was offered to go from hourly pay to salary at x per hour. The employer was scheduling me for more than 40 hours but only paying me for 40 hours claiming that since I was on salary they could make me work up to 48 hours a week without compensation. Once this was brought to their attention I was fired and given 1 week severance pay and then offered one more week of severance pay if I did not go to the labour board. Not sure where I stand here legally. I am a single mother and need a job.

I was dismissed from my employment for confronting another staff

Iwas let go from a company after 2+ years for no reason. Can they do this ?

I have a friend that has been with a company for almost 4 years and she was dating another senior employee and because of personal life changes it didn't work out and she has moved on and as soon as the ex found out she complained to her owner and she walked into to work and the owner stopped her at the door said to her she was no longer able to work there because of personal conflict grabbed her stuff and said he would pay her for 4 weeks, is this considered wrongful dismissal ?

On the 30th June i was called in the office by the owner of the company and was told that i did not get along with employees and that he was sorry he had to terminate my employment with the company. i am 70 yrs old and he mentioned that i am old and that i should take a rest. At the time i did not know that the kitchen Supervisor who bullied me wrote a false letter against me and had given it to the owner who fired me on the grounds that i was not getting along with the employees. in the end he sent me an ROE indicating that i was laid off due to work slow down. I had no contract. This the company's very busy period. IS THIS WRONGFUL DISMISSAL INCLUDING DISCRIMINATION?
