Hi
I was placed on a Leave Of Absence in December of 2021 for non compliance with the mandates at the time. I was a unionized hospital housekeeper since 2008 before being put on a LOA and was denied all Employment Insurance when let go because of the "voluntary" LOA (despite how Involuntary it was) that was on my record. That employer has just left me a message recalling me back to duty with a start date less than a week away. But referred to us as being laid off not on LOAs. At no point were we notified of being laid off or given any kind of written notice of such. All of our paperwork states we were on an LOA. I tried numerous times to reach out to the company during my LOA to no avail, no response of any kind in return.

My question I guess would be, Are they able to change that status without any notice to the employee?
And, Can they legally even recall us back after almost 3 years?

Thank you in advance

Nicole
