how do I go about approaching filing a claim or complaint against my previous employer for falsifying a legal document and recanting his verbal statement of dismissal? On sept 25, 2015 I was sent home the plant foreman due to refusing to train a temporary employee due to his not being suitable for the job duty at hand; along with my inability to carry out the task at hand due to injury. On September 28, 2015 upon return of the plant manager at the end of the business day; I was informed of my being dismissed which the Manager stated: " Let's call it recon structuring". He then proceeded to say that the company would pay me for September 25, 2015 incident due to my being sent home. My current situation is that upon my applying for Employment Insurance I was informed that the company stated that I was Dismissed/ Fired. I contacted the plant Manager to inquire about the current situation and he recanted his initial statement of recon structuring. He further stated that I chose to leave on September 25, 2015. However, the evidence of my being sent home by the plant Forman is the fact that the company paid me 4 hours for loss wages due to being sent home. I would like to know how to go about rectifying this situation as it interferes with ability to qualify for E.I and pursuing a second career through the governments Second Career Program.
You have been terminated and you should absolutely call a lawyer to discuss your entitlements. Your termination will not likely effect your participation in the Second Career Program, but the way in which they have characterized your ROE may impact your application for EI. You should consult a lawyer about straightening this out.
