After 7 years full time, I was terminated from my position last week...it was one month after returning from Maternity Leave. There was no warning; it happened out of nowhere. My position held two parts: before I left, a unionized returning employee on modified work was taking over one part...she became full time while I was off. My manager did the work load of my other half... which was a lot and so our Admin Asst, who was previously worked part time hours, became full time to help cover the workload. There was also a merger with another site. I also had a meeting with my manager and new director before returning about mental health concerns I had about returning to work. I have a few questions:
1. Am I eligible for EI?
2. What would be a fair severance package?
3. Do I have a strong case for wrongful dismissal?
Thank you.
