0:00 - Intro
► 2:04 A forklift operator dropped some products and material on the job, doing a significant amount of damage. His employer was upset, and decided to deduct the amount of damage from the employee's wages. Can an employer deduct an employee's wages? Lior explains that an employer is not allowed to deduct any amounts from an employee's pay unless the employee gives permission. Otherwise, it would be an illegal breach of the Employment Standards Act.
► 5:40 A caller from stlawyers.ca/employment-law-show - I have been working at a company for 20 years. I am thinking of resigning due to stress-related issues that are affecting my health and well-being. Should I expect to receive a severance package?

► 8:14 POCKET EMPLOYMENT LAWYER.ca - I’ve worked at a mid-sized company as an independent contractor for 4 years, in a 9-to-5 job at their office. I don’t work for anybody else. My boss just told me they’re laying off all contractors and hiring full-time employees to replace them. He said he would try to secure me 2 weeks’ pay as severance, but claims he not legally obligated to do so. What are my rights?

► 21:33 A caller from stlawyers.ca/employment-law-show - As a middle manager, I earn a base salary as well as an additional $75,000 if our company reaches 100% of our sales goal for the year. This year, I was given new sales numbers that are impossible to achieve. I think they’re doing this on purpose to drive out our current team and bring in new blood.

► 25:53 A caller from stlawyers.ca/employment-law-show - I was on long term disability after undergoing surgery. When my doctors told my employer that I was not ready to return to work, I received a termination letter. The company included a severance offer of 6 weeks’ pay after 6 years on the job. They said they would reduce the amount to 3 weeks’ pay if I spoke to a lawyer.

Can you ask for severance pay after 5 years
@SamfiruTumarkinToronto Жыл бұрын
In Canada, you have two years from the moment your employment ends to pursue a full severance package - as much as 24 month's pay - through an employment lawyer. This two year period is referred to as the 'limitation period'. Anything past the two year period means you can't take legal action to get your severance pay.
