What are my rights if my hours taken but I haven’t been fired?
My hours have been taken at work but I’m not allowed to return to work until I have a meeting which has taken almost 2 weeks, yet I haven’t been fired. Are they legally allowed to do this?

If you have been put on suspension (either formally or informally), you have no claim unless such action violates the terms of an employment contract or union agreement. Also, it must not constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination.
