"Does the Code prohibit an employer from terminating an employee for certain reasons?
Yes. An employer may not terminate an employee’s employment because:
- the employee requested or demanded anything to which the employee is entitled under the Code"
Normally though an employer can terminate your employment for ANY reason (very few exceptions) when in the 3 month probationary period.
Your termination may be valid or invalid based on my above quote. It says that if you were fired for demanding something you were entiteld to, then the termination isn't allowed. An iffy one for sure.
Having said all that, I'd say you are definetely entitled to your 3 hours pay since they have no proof of you agreeing to the policy.
