My sister in- law was just terminated from a job for I believe for unjust reason. She came to work as a part time worker . As soon as she came in to work she was told that she is no longer needed. Without reason or without notice . My sister in-law ask the Employer why and what was the reason . The Employer said that my sister in-law had another P/T job and it conflicted . My sister in-law informed me that she believes that there was a reason other then a P/T. reason . You see my sister works for a children home inspection and she rights down everything that she sees fit for the children Heath and well being . But the Employer told her not to bother to right those things my sister-in law believed that it was wrong for not to aware a condition that was unfit for a child. So my sister in-law Informed her Employer that what she sees she will write on paper regardless .Please Help .Me as a concerned Brother in-law Believe that the Termination of her Employment was unjust.

My daughter and I have worked for the same real estate company as administrative support for approx 5-6 years. She was full time and I was part time. The company was taken over by another real estate company in October. They let us know just before Christmas that our hours would change. My daughter was offered a contract Jan 3 which she decided not to accept so let them know Jan 4 at 9:40 am that she would not be returning. She received a reply at 9:45. When I was at work this morning I sent out an e-mail at 10:45 to selected agents that she was no longer with the company, that she had enjoyed working with them and wished them all the best in 2015. My manager called me in to her office and said I had no right to do that and after some discussion said I was fired and escorted me out of the building. Do I have grounds for wrongful dismissal? Thank you.
