Hmm I was learning about this topic in CALM course in my high school last week and I never thought I'd see a day when those CALM courses would be useful.

I'm pretty sure that is just the notification that is required when you terminate someone. I think that is refering to the law that states first 3 month on the job, they can fire you on the spot but after 3 month, 1 week notice must be given before firing someone.

I don't think that means they can fire you for following the law. The law states that even if you show up to work on your shift, they must pay you 3hours of your pay no matter what. Since you didn't receive any manual to explain when you should not show up to your work, I think it was right to show up to work.

Like JBR said, I'd contact the Alberta Labor Board because you were fired for following that policy which states that 3 hours of wage must be given when a employee shows up to his work.
