Hey all,
So this just happened to me an hour ago. Less than 2 weeks ago I handed in my 2 week notice.
I work at a company that makes car parts and we work 10 hours shifts with two 10 min breaks and a measley 20 min lunch. We are also not supposed to leave the property while we are on break.
I had been warned a few times that I was caught taking longer breaks than they allow and was sent home early last week for doing so (this was after I had handed in my notice). There is a woman there how has absolutely had it in for me cause I don't seem to care about “changing my behavior” and I feel she had it in for me since it seemed she couldn't control me.
Well tonight, while I was on my lunch in my car, they had a fire drill, and I wasn't where I was supposed to be cause I was late coming back from lunch and was promptly asked to turn in my badge
I was 4 days before my last scheduled day, but I was honestly willing to stay a couple extra days seeing as I am not busy until the following week.
My question is, despite me handing in my 2 weeks, does them asking me to turn in my badge early count as being fired? And if so would I qualify for ei benefits? I am located in Ontario, Canada
