0:00 - Intro
2:15 Given ultimatum by employer while on disability leave
I'd been on disability leave for about six months when my employer requested I return to work within the next few weeks. If I wasn't able to do so, I'd be let go. Can they do this?
5:57 Labelled contractor and let go with no severance
I was labelled a contractor and worked solely for this employer for about a year. Despite promoting me from security guard to eventually operations manager, he terminated my employment with no warning. I was offered no severance and am still owed unpaid wages.

8:32 Government advice on severance pay
I was fired from a long-term job. When I contacted the government about my severance package, they said I was only owed a maximum of 8 weeks’ pay, not 24 months... Is there any type of situation that I’d be owed more than that?
11:52 Accepting a major pay cut
I was a lead hand for my company for 14 years. The manager is now signalling a significant role change to coordinator, as well as a major pay cut. Can they do this, and do I have to accept it?
Common Myths about the Termination Process
13:47 1️⃣ Your employer needs a legitimate reason to terminate your employment.
14:55 2️⃣ You can be pressured to resign or retire by your employer.
16:48 3️⃣ Simple mistakes and performance issues can lead to termination “for cause”.
18:30 5️⃣ Your severance package release must be signed and accepted as soon as possible.
21:43 Returning from maternity leave to reduced hours
I'm currently on Maternity Leave but it will end in a matter of weeks. My employer has recently informed me that my position has become redundant and offered me another position with added responsibilities for the same pay, a much longer commute, and non-flexible hours. I was told I would be fired if I did not accept this offer. Do I have any options here?
23:55 Less severance due to employer financial difficulties
I have worked for a company for 4 years in a sales position and was just let go. They’ve offered me 2 weeks of severance. When I pushed for more, HR stated the financial difficulties the company was experiencing made this impossible. Is this true?
