2:15 Different elements of compensation
I was a superintendent for many years and as part of my compensation, I paid rent at a very reduced rate. Recently, I was let go and told I'd receive severance but had to vacate my apartment. What are my rights in this situation?
6:13 Severance under the ESA
I was laid off due to restructuring and was only offered one week’s pay despite expecting a baby in the coming months. I was told I was only entitled to minimum severance under the ESA.

8:24 Short-service severance entitlements
I’m a construction health and safety coordinator. I was employed for about 7 months before I was let go. I checked your severance pay calculator and was surprised to see I would be owed 3-4 months' pay. How is this possible?
11:32 Accommodations after disability leave
I’ve been on long-term disability for quite some time but might finally be able to go back to work. I’m 64 years old. Does my employer have to accommodate me and ensure I’m brought back to the same position?
