I have been working at the same fast food restaurant for 4 years, part-time. This year I had taken a leave of absence for 8 months for University which was approved by my store manager. He and I knew I would be back in May. He asked that I call around Christmas time in case I wanted to work over Christmas break. Christmas break came and we had family come in from out of province, so I forgot to call. I went back in to work in April to hand in my availability and was terminated on the spot. I asked for a copy of my work contract and was denied. He said the reasoning was because he didn't know I would be coming back since I didn't call during Christmas, however we had an agreement that I would be back in May. He said he hired people assuming that I wasn't coming back. At the point of termination I was still technically on my leave of absence. I didn't have any notice, nor did I have any warnings to improve my behaviour or anything. I had no documentations in my file. During orientation for the job they said school comes first, family comes second and work comes third. They violated both the first and second terms of that. Do I have a case here? Note: I am part-time and only was scheduled about 16 hours per week.
