My foreman has got himself into financial difficulty and has taken on a second job outside and it is effecting his performance At my company. What are my rights ?

I was terminated yesterday for shortage of work(in writing). I was given a 3 week pay + my medical dental benefits will end on March 31. I took 3 extra days of vacation in January that I hadn't earned because I took my vacation in advance and they aren't taking it out of my paycheck, they said it's a bonus. I was not given any prior notice and was told the day I was terminated. I had been working there since Oct 2013. My boss said it has nothing to do with my performance, in fact he praised my performance and is willing to give me nice reference letters. Am I entitled to any other benefits that you think I deserve ?
