I was off work due to a reinjury of my wrist/hand and during that period my grandmother had passed away. In the time I was off i was in contact with my employer more than once to let them know what was going on. When i asked about picking up my paycheck and returning to work, my employers response was we assumed you quit and an ROE was issued. Can they do that?
They cannot. A resignation must be voluntary, not assumed, so at law this is a wrongful dismissal. You are owed a severance package and, potentially, additional damages for bad faith.
