I have been let go after 24 yrs of service, i have been offered 8 weeks + 24 weeks, in additional to an additional lump sum that equates to the equivalent of about 30 months. Can i get more?

I travelled and my flight was delayed which led to me getting home after 2. The next day I was scheduled to work. But called in to let them know and told them I guess I will put it in as a sick day. Can they force me to convert it as a vacation day even if I am not on vacation or as an unpaid day which I personally think is more understandable? Thanks

I was "temporarily" laid off end of May due to ongoing economic struggles within the company and they "hope to bring me back when things get better", but the company has really been not doing well for a while now, and I believe (speculate) that they are laying me off as they cannot afford to pay me severance. I could see them going bankrupt in the next year or 2. They had to close all but one of their locations, and cannot keep that one stocked and sell online as well with limited sales. I worked there for 8 years 11 months. Do I have any rights? I cannot afford to wait this out and wait for them to properly terminate me for severance.

My employer took 800$ off my cheque because they drove up to camp and picked me up after I quit because the boss was making fun of me comparing me to a druggie is that allowed ? Can they legally Charge 1$ a km to come get me
