I worked for a small business for just over 8 years in a senior management position. Over the course of the last three or four years, the principal has become progressively unpleasant. I was frozen out by the principal, had my remuneration reduced and my job description changed to a point that I could no longer work under his employ. I resigned on November 10th this year. It was agreed that I would work out the pay period which ended on November 20th. It was agreed that I could have a day off to attend a conference for professional development at my own cost. I have just received notification I did not put in a request for leave to attend the conference, as such my pay has been withheld. I should note that in April this year I worked every day for three weeks, including weekends and was then forced to take two days leave in order to visit my sister. Do I have a case for constructive dismissal? I thank you for your assistance in this matter.

I was evicted from a house that came with my job as a support worker for 2 special needs sisters. The house belonged to the parents, they said the job wasn't working out so the fired me . But they were telling the neighbours that they thought I was doing a wonderful job and the girls were happy with me being there, and the girls psychiatrist said I was doing everything I should have been doing with the girls. Can they do this to me as I was doing my job . I was responsible for the girls 24 hours a day 7 days a week and I transported them to and from work 4 days a week and they stayed with me on the 5th day and I didn't even get millage or gas paid by the parents I did it out of the kindness of my heart. I have been in this field for 40 years so I don't know what wasn't working. Would this issue fall under a wrongful dismissal case. Thank you Cindy
