Hello, my has been working for a company for 10 years, she has been off for three of those years on mat leave. On her last return her role was changed and given an new title. A few months later a new manager was hired to manage her team. The new mangager would always single out my wife for looking sad, tired, depressed. My wife then took some time off to take care of our last sonm he needed to have a surgery. When it was time to return after speaking to the new manager the impression was that she should not come back and stay off longer to take care of our son as a date was not confirmed for the surgery. After taking to the manager my wife decided to quit. Is there anything she is entitled to and would she qualify for EI?

one of my staffs at BMO sent a job letter to her mortgage broker which was given to her 11 months ago by the HR. She edited the date to a current date. We found out because the mortgage broker called HR and asked if the date on the letter was correct. Investigation started and HR had a meeting with my staff. My staff said she did not change anything else in the letter such as the salary and the tenure and it was just the date as she needed the letter immediately to find a place for rent. Could my staff get fired for this?
