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.
there's a billion and one different reasons they could have decided to fire him. probably pretty easy for his employer to pull one outta his ass and bs it therefore not worth getting the labour board involved. with the amount of jobs that are available these days and the fact that you had just started there and its just groundskeeping at a golf course, i'd just laugh it off and go find somewhere else to work.
