I worked for a private homecare company and I wasn't getting very many hours with them, so I went and got a second job. My second job was giving me 8hr days when I worked. I told my first job that if they could give me 8hr days I would work for them most and the other job when it is slow. My second job would give me a month worth of a schedule, while my first job goes weekly. Eventually my first job would be sending me an email saying I'm working 2hrs on a day I told them I was unavailable for. And forcing me to reject the work. This happened multiple times. I told them that if they could give me an 8hr shift that I would tell my 2nd job I can't work for them. Eventually I stopped receiving any job emails from my first job, and then at the beggining of January I recieved an email asking if I was still interested to work with my first company. I never replied only as I was busy and then forgot. And now I recieved a roe stating I was dismissed, to me if they don't have enough work for an 8hr shift wouldn't that me a shortage of work, not a dismissal?
Shortage of work and dismissal are, practically, the same thing, and both may result in your being entitled to termination pay. I suggest that you contact an employment lawyer to discuss your entitlements.
