0:00 - Intro
1:50 No Job After Short-term Disability Denied
I tried to come back to work after taking time off for a serious medical condition. My employer said they couldn't accommodate my physical limitations, and that they couldn't take me back to work. My application for short term disability was denied because the insurance company said I should be able to work. What should I do?
4:53 Stellar Employee Must Provide 15-min Updates
The past two years my wife has received emails, accolades and awards from her employer in response to her great work. An efficiency expert was recently brought in, and they now require her to update her boss every 15 minutes about what she is doing. Can they do that?

8:13 Appealing LTD Denial Over Medical Support
My wife suffers from severe depression which keeps her from working. When she tried applying for LTD a few months ago she was denied due to lack of medical support, despite being backed by two different doctors. Her only option now is to appeal the decision. We’re also worried what her employer might do if she doesn’t return to work soon.

13:30 HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN THE WORKPLACE
13:58 1️⃣ What does the Human Rights Code actually do?
• The Human Rights Code is the statute that governs human rights. It protects individuals from being discriminated against.
15:06 2️⃣ Common human rights violations in the workplace
• One of the most common human rights violations in the workplace involves employee disability, and an employer's failure to accommodate an employee's medical condition.
16:19 3️⃣ Limits of Workplace Accommodation
• If an employer can prove that they tried to fulfill their duty to accommodate, but doing so would put undue hardship on the company, they may not have to provide accommodation.
18:20 4️⃣ Harassment and Human Rights
• Harassment in the workplace becomes a human rights issue if it based on a prohibited ground under the Human Rights Code.
19:20 5️⃣ What To Do If Human Rights Violated
• An employee should inform their employer about human rights violations in the workplace. If the company fails to respond appropriately, you should contact an employment lawyer.
20:48 Taking a Temporary Layoff and Vacation Pay
I started part-time with a company before becoming a full-time employee. After one year on the job I was offered a temporary layoff until more work came in. I accepted it and tried looking for another job. My employer gave me my vacation pay. Was I owed more?

24:42 Heating Subcontractor Fired Without Severance
I was a subcontractor for 11 years. Taxes weren’t taken of my pay, but I was supplied with parts and clients by my employer. I was unexpectedly fired without reason one day. I didn’t get any severance, but others who were fired at the same time did get packages.

26:51 One Week Per Year After 18 Years of Service
I was fired 18 months ago after working 20 dedicated years at the company. I was given one week per year worked, plus an extra 5 weeks as a retirement bonus. I’ve always wondered if I was owed a bit more than that. What do you think?

These guys are soooo awsome....and provide clear understandable information
Thank you for your kind comment, Ms! Everyone at the Firm works hard to deliver results and ensure our customers' rights are upheld.
I worked for a well known duck insurance company and this one office hired me because I am a single mother, a senior citizen and a minority. They held onto my licenses, never paid me and the whole thing was a nightmare. I feel lucky that the Dept of Human Rights is giving me a chance at a hearing, they told me judges are so busy they rarely take cases unless they see egregious violations. Wish me luck!
Working for husbands business and thought I was saving my paycheck since March 2020. Now I find out he has been depositing my paychecks into his account and it’s money I owe him for what ever he decided with out my awareness keeping me from ever being financially independent. Even if he needed my money I have the right to control my paychecks and then contribute.
EEOC Settlement followed me to my future job. The H. R representative from previous saw me and I lost my new job a week later

I would like everyone's advice on this. I work as cashier for b&m stores. I was badly verbally abused by my manger and ill treated. I know my challenge 25 and when a customer turns up at my till with no id and underage... I refused the sale as they were underage... I did nothing wrong...but my supervisor went and told my manger ive had a serious incident...and to my horror my manager pulled me aside and began shouting at me....he was not listening to me :-( in done this abruse before on my first few weeks at work where the area manager arranged a meeting... and my manger then apologised. Coming to here and now, I reported the incident to HR and sent my witness statement too alongside the mangers ill treatment to me and other staff too. He also called his hard working staff retards this hurts me so much as the staff work very hard.... and are not retards:-( I have been waiting for HR to contact me and resolved my issue.. instead my letter was passed down to a team leader and no mangers.... this team woman calls me and tried to put words into my mouth to my horror and said i gave in my notice in and told my manger I'm leaving the b&m store.
I never gave any written statement or verbally.
In my 9 letter page plus and statement I not once wrote about my termination of my contract or mentioned it at all...instead been pleading with them to resolve my issue as the manager has a bad behaviour and reeks of heavy alcohol at work. I have tried to find the directors details to email all letters and the email dialogue from HR today to tell them what's HR has done and my store mangers... I feel betrayed HRhave covered it up consideringi also sent a witness satement too... I am 55 year old and never had an experience such as this its left me mortified. I am very genuine and a lightworker... I heal people and gifted from birth i see people setiny on their their as well as voice writings.... and to experience evil people is a eye opener. Beautiful souls who reads this please give me advice what further I can do. B&M HR have terminated my contractwithout my consent and no reason as to why and have listened to the lies of a branch manager with jeckle and hyde traits...taking into note I did nothing wrong... its was a no id no sale... I couldn't tell acholol to underage but got punished instead of being praised for not selling to underage. He's shouts at you infront of everyone...its very humiliating. He has behaviour problems. ;'l
