I am a 32 year employee at Lake-ridge Health with no referable incidents on my employment record. My annual reviews were always acceptable or better. I was on an attendance management program once for 6 months. I was accused of time theft regarding my pay. I did not do anything with malice or intent. I was called into the office November 27 2017 accused of time theft. I needed my calendar to explain and was not allowed access to my calendar and was not able to adequately explain deviations on my time sheet. I explained that i had worked through breaks but that was not consider acceptable by my manager. I did make one administrative mistake for a holiday pay that i said was an admin error. I was sent home under
admin leave with pay. I was told they were going back 4 years on my record. I would leave work and use vacation time to cover the time that i was leaving work early. On December 7 I was called back to work and was
terminated with cause with no further chance of offering a review of exact dates or explanation. I have never been interviewed, coached, counseled on not completing my records accurately. I was only given 15 minute interview and was not allowed access to my calendar. I feel i have been terminated without just cause. I completed my payroll as what i thought was an accepted practice. I feel i am entitle to my position back with Lake ridge health or severance under common law.
