Hello, my full time job was terminated and I will have a " K821 - termination after 3 months performance unsetisfaction " reason in employment letter. I was employed for 2 years and I had excellent quality of job, but the situation changed as soon as a new manager came. During this 3 months I was badly treated by her and tried to stand for myself. Finally I was terminated. I called to HR and she told that if somebody will call her from Service Canada, she will tell that termination will be with NO CAUSE. During this 3 months I did not get any warning or letters, saying that I have a poor performance or behavior problems and it was unexpected to me that my job was terminated. I have 2 questions: 1. Will I be eligible for unemployment benefits; 2. Should I sign release papers for the employer (due date May, 11, 2017) if I think that accusations are not correct. I am a single 60 years old person, with no support and no savings. It is a time sensitive matter for me.
Thanks a lot
Tatiana
