My work gave me a letter of termination. I have been working for a physio therapy clinic for 13 1/2 years. A couple years ago we were sold to a company in Toronto. the previous owners stayed on as management until August 2014. I was given a termination notice with 14 weeks notice, stating now that the previous owners are gone my position was being restructured. I am the receptionist and my position has not been changed at all. What they have done is eliminated the physio aide position because the physiotherapists no longer require physio aides. They in turn are giving my receptionist position to one of the physio aides who's job has been eliminated. The physio aide who is replacing my receptionist job has been with the company 4 years and isn't a receptionist shes a physio aide. They used the excuse that she is doing functional abilities testing so that qualifies her to do my position. When in actuality a receptionist or a physio aide is qualified to do functional abilities testing.
