0:00 - Intro
► 1:16 Workplace Harassment: What should I do if I am fired after a coworker files a sexual harassment complaint against me? What is a company's responsibility if allegations of harassment are made?
► 4:04 A caller from www.employmenthour.com: My wife is a project coordinator at a software company. She is about to return from maternity leave. The company is letting people go, and giving them low severance pay. Can a company fire somebody who is on maternity leave if it is part of a restructuring?
► 6:35 A caller from www.employmenthour.com: My friend works on salary plus commission in a sales role. The company told employees that they will no longer earn overtime pay beyond 40 hours a week. Does that sound right? Lior discusses overtime pay for salaried employees.
► Being Let Go From Your Job Without Even Realizing It
• 8:46 - You are out on a Temporary Layoff
• 9:38 - Your employer changes the terms of your employment
• 10:27 - You are put on an unpaid suspension
• 11:18 - The company you work for is being sold
• 12:18 - You have to deal with a poisoned work environment
• 13:36 - You are sick or injured and cannot return to work
► 15:51 www.severancepaycalculator.com and why over 500,000 Canadians have used it to discover their rights, when a wrongful dismissal scenario is at play.
► 17:09 www.severancepaycalculator.com example scenario: 58-year-old Carolyn was hired as a supervisor at a retail chain, after the previous supervisor left for another job. Just 9 months later, Carolyn was fired because the previous employee wanted her job back! Is that legal? And is she owed more than 2 weeks’ pay?
► 19:05 A caller from www.EmploymentHour.com: I hurt myself at work, and filed a WSIB claim. Now, after 8 years with no issues, my boss has issued 3 written warnings. I think they’re trying to kick me out. Do you have any advice? Can I be let go after three written warnings
► 22:30 A caller from www.EmploymentHour.com: My wife was laid off after 19 years. They’ve given her and other employees one year’s notice. Is she entitled to any severance pay on top of working notice? Lior explains severance pay and working notice.
► 25:10 www.terminationquestions.com: I missed my sales goal by 2% last year, despite my best efforts during a tough year for our industry. Now I’m on a performance improvement plan. If I don’t meet targets within 6 months, they will consider letting me go. After 6 years of hard work, I don’t think this is fair at all.
► 26:56 www.terminationquestions.com: I was cut off Long-Term Disability by the insurance company because they deemed that I am well enough to return to work, despite no medical evidence. Now my boss will fire me if I don’t return to work. Would I be owed termination pay?

Exactly.. educate the labour force...very little staff know the labour law..during hearings and therefore so many staff . lost their jobs..by not knowing..the laws... therefore I suggest that labour cases.. should in fact not be internal because employers ..have great advantage over staff.. cases should be handled from the beginning by the court of law... employers don't wanna pay lawyers fir those services..and thus employers get richer... unconstitutional..

I have a question, I worked for a company for 16 years, that had two separate companies with two separate EIN numbers and fillings, the one company I worked for, said they eliminated my position, and had their other company fill my same position. This happened right after I returned from my OJI (On the job Injury). Now the company I did not work for is the one that offered me a severance pay and had me sign a document saying I would not go after them legally. Since I did not sign any document from the company I worked for, can I still go after them for wrongful termination?

Hi J K. We need to take a closer look at your situation to determine how to approach this, what severance you may be owed, and how to get it. If you were non-unionized and worked in Ontario, Alberta or B.C. (Canada), please call us at 1-855-821-5900 or fill out a contact form at stlawyers.ca/
