can company fire a relative of a family member suspected of theft at another location and do they have to give reason for firing

I received notice today that I would be terminated on July 3rd and would be paid up until that day. That is roughly 4 weeks. I have seen references that the amount of payment in lieu of notice is actually 8 weeks. (I have 33 years of service. I am a regular part time employee. In other words I receive the benefits of a full time employee but at a rate of 60%) Which is correct? - 4 weeks or 8 weeks)? Thank-you

Can I recieve severance for being fired for just cause?

I have been threatened with termination for declining to do work that I do not normally perform. I am a tradesman and have been with the company nearly 20 years. I am mostly on my feet but the work they want me to now do requires a great deal of time sitting. I have a pre-existing neck condition that occurred at work in 2009 and for which I was treated for by the company health centre. I cannot sit upright for long durations as this compresses my neck and leads to numbness in my arms and hands and a stabbing pain between my shoulder blades. Am I within my rights to decline this work and if terminated would I have a case for wrongful dismissal?
