I was asked to input a stack of papers at work, which was not regular task for me. 2 days later i received rudely worded emails from a manager listing off multiple mistakes I had made. I thanked the manager for letting me know, and I let them know that data entry was not my strong suit, and that It was not part of my job description. Without further communication, I was asked to come in early for my next shift, then dismissed "without cause." It was an immediate dismissal, I was asked not to work. I wasn't given any termination documents, or given details about pay in lieu of notice. After calling the owners, they said the dismissal paperwork was not given as a 'mistake,' and i set up a meeting with them. At this meeting, 6 days after my dismissal, I was still not given details of my termination pay. Now, almost 2 weeks from my dismissal, they've paid part of my termination pay via my last paycheck, and the other part of my pay via an internet E-transfer (which I have yet to accept).

I am not happy with what they're trying to pay me- it was calculated as an average of the past 12 weeks of work, but about 12 weeks ago they changed my schedule significantly without asking me. Basically, they started giving me very few, inconsistent, tougher shifts, and giving all of the good shifts to newer staff.

I had been working there part time, for 2 years. The majority of my employment I've had 2-4 shifts per week. In the past 12 weeks, usually about 1 or 1.25 shifts. Can they pay me so little termination after cutting back my hours like this? Do i have grounds for constructive dismissal? If this was a relatively low wage job, is it practical to pursue this?
