I was fired for being on my cell phone during my lunch break. This was after I fell on the job with a witness. I hit the ground hard enough to be knocked out. We knew it would be best to tell the employer. My employer didn’t even acknowledge it! So I wrote it on my timecard to document my fall. That timecard was destroyed and replaced with a new one. That’s why Ultra Fencing did to me in Redding Ca.
I have to ask for bathroom breaks EVERY TIME and no one else has to. When I ask the managers act like I am being a pain or annoying them. I end up waiting 5 to 6 hours to use the restroom. I have diabetes and need to use the restroom more often too.
@@gracelaski7163 Yes, your employer is responsible for paying you full severance, up to 24 months' pay in Ontario, Alberta or B.C., if the sell the company.
I had a settlement with Eeoc and non disclosure agreement. I ran into H. R person at my new job. After witnessing an incident that was disturbing with co workers. I found this H. R person was using my past against me. I feel this person also disclosing my past.. The company in the past was highly negligent
I am asking for a week of Medical leave, in order to care for my husband that is getting surgery. My Employer is asking for me to sign an auth document to release medical records. I already provided a Medical Note, and informed they may reach the physician to confirm the surgery. I just don’t feel comfortable authorizing them to have access to my husband’s nor my own Medical records. Isn’t that a HIPPA violation?
I requested to only be on the work schedule for 3 days because my father passed away and there is alot of things I have to take care of last week they put me on the schedule for 5 days and they did it this week too.... I have worked 5 days in a row normally this would be okay but my grief and things I have to do is over whelming. ONE of the managers have messaged me twice today on my day off im assuming she's trying to call me in is this legal.
My employer just found out I had a appointment in the following morning to join a MAT outpatient program and after I signed in the mat program my employer said they were informed if a possible relapse and sent me home and required a drug test becausey boss told her boss I was going into treatment. I'm sent home without pay and fear termination
I need an employment lawyer because one of my jobs took out an illegal w-2 form on me and I didn’t know it when I filed in 2019. The state department of taxation told me that I had an additional tax form and I told them I knew nothing about that. Come to find out it was an additional $70 and the state winded up telling me I owe $200 for not filing that form. Who knew an employer (Dominos) could take out additional tax forms on individuals?
@Aaliyah Unfortunately we cannot assist you with this, as we currently (March 2021) do not represent individuals with employment matters in the United States. We do represent clients in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, Canada.
The company have the policy when you miss 3 days or more and you could call them. They policy say is voluntary quit but on they letter say they terminate this person. But in the notice employe change in relationship they select discharge affect. They didn’t select voluntary quit. This is right? This person on this year was having problems with his back and hand. This person when on his own to the doctor and give him 3 weeks off for his back and I weeks off for his hand. The company didn’t say any about fmla to this employee and when he couldn’t call the company for two weeks it was because he was sick. When he did got in touch with hr he explain hr the reasons. The he was sick and not feeling good again my question hr didn’t say anything about family leave. Hr have to let the employee about this benefits? If you ask why the company send him to the doctor for his back and hand. The answer if he was out for 3 weeks and the company didn’t say anything about fmla to this employee.
Good day. I would like to enquire about getting a lawyer because the company that I'm working for currently is laying me off off and I feel it's for personal reasons. The HR officer claim that it is because the company is not making as much money so they have to cut my post as Cashier. The problem is they are cutting my post but they are hiring persons for other posts and I have a strong feeling that they will hire another Cashier while I'm being laid off. I am on a one year contract and I started working at the company from last year November. Do I have grounds to sue?
I need some help from somebody on here just some advice really don’t really know my rights as an employee but I was suspended in definitely pending an investigation and that was about 67 months ago and my employer still has not reached out to me in notified me if I’ve been terminated or if I’m still suspended I just need to know what I should do or what rights I have
My employer is not giving me my work experience letter. I have worked as a team leader in janitor company but they are saying they will give me light duty cleaner . But I have worked as a team leader. I need it for immigration
@Italian Stallion. Unfortunately we can't help you with an answer to your question, given that it concerns employment laws in California, and we practice law in British Columbia and Ontario, Canada.
I believe employees should have Sunday and Monday off because county and state offices aren't open on weekends and having Monday off also makes the week go by faster and people can be relaxed from it not being Monday
How do the courts decide what is considered harassment? Is there a litmus test for it? What if someone falsely claims harassment based on an innocuous conversation and the employer does not know any better than to take their side? I'm asking because you would expect a person living in Canadian society to have a reasonable level of tolerance, no? Otherwise, people would claim that they feel uncomfortable because of TV shows, movies, anything that they see while walking outside etc.
I work in Canada. How does Natural Law fit in relation to employment. HR has acknowledged that they use abstract math involving information theory and probabilities however the language in the Code of Conduct refers to being fair and objective which is related to Natural Law. It’s a complete contradiction and has created confusion. Then I find that the employer has abandoned their responsibilities in regards to the mask policy at work by adding a disclaimer with the policy. I belong to a union but they are engaged in the social sciences, what advice can I get?
Hi Joseph. Workplace rights in Canadian provinces and territories are governed by either provincial or federal regulations (depending on the type of work), along with common law. If you are unionized/represented by a union, and are experiencing workplace issues, or have been terminated and are seeking severance, you must contact your union for assistance. As per your Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), only they can represent you on employment matters, rather than our employment lawyers.

If my boss selling a company and transfer me to another place he's not responsible for severance pay?

My employer ended my contract in bad faith and gave me verbal working notice. The ESA states that I must be provided with written notice.

Can an employer search your bags if they where left overnight in locked govt vehicle?

Can an employer have persons(non coworkers) watch you outside of the building?

Our government determines what workplace harassment is through concepts like Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act.
