I have been working at a charity for the past 7 years. My job has changed but not my job description or pay. Yesterday I was advised that my position is redundant and no longer required. I was told the organization is making a new position and I am more then welcomed to apply for this position if I feel that I meet the requirements. I read the posting and all the duties are the ones I perform now with the exception of one. The one thing they are asking for is experience with T-SQL which I don't have. I wanted to know how this will impact me. If I apply and if not what are my rights? If I get the job what can possibly happen.

worked under 3 months and was fired out of no where what are my rights ?

I have worked at my company coming up to 25 years on October 31st 2015. Last year I got a new boss. I work on the road as a Regional Manager and have an expense account. Today I was given a written warning for too much alcohol on my expense forms. My expenses have not changed since I have been working there and typically there is only alcohol on my expenses when I take a client out or meet up with co-workers. Our policy is vague and says use discretion. I have asked in the past what that means and was given vague answers. Other co-workers expense the same as myself but have not gotten a formal write up. I obviously will not expense alcohol again, but I feel that I am being targeted for dismissal. I was told that my work record is great but the next warning could lead to dismissal. For the record I usually keep the Expenses to 2 drinks each.

Hello, i consulted a policeman about being left outside my place of employment in the early morning 5:55 - 6:15 a.m. this past Sunday when temperatures were close to -20 degrees. He told me that i could leave and come home and call from home, and that they couldn't fire me, if they did i could sue for wrongful dismissal. Is this true?
