FEATURED ON THIS EPISODE...
0:00 - Intro
1:35 Non-Compete Clause No-no
An employee was let go/terminated after working at a company for around 12 years in a senior position. He was offered 12 months' pay as a severance package. His employment agreement contained a non-compete clause that stated he could not work within the industry for 18 months. The math didn't add up. Lior Samfiru explains how to react to a non-compete clause.
3:43 Sales Rep Terminated Without Severance
My friend worked in sales for 8 years. She had to provide her employer with her availability, and didn't work for anybody else. She was just let go, but was not provided with severance pay. Is she entitled to severance? Lior Samfiru explains why she is owed severance pay, even though she was being called an Independent Contractor by her employer.
6:35 Reaction When Work Hours Reduced
My mother was hired on as a full-time employee. Her employer just reduced her down to 4 hours a day. HR said they had to do it because they lost some business. What are her rights when her hours a reduced? Lior explains what to do when faced with Constructive Dismissal.
9:23 You Need to Watch Your Back When...
9:46 1️⃣ You believe your employer is building a case against you with bad performance reviews.
10:47 2️⃣ You've been asked to sign a new employment agreement
12:03 3️⃣ The employer isn't being cooperative in accommodating a medical restriction
13:16 4️⃣ Your employer won't deal with a harassment complaint
15:18 5️⃣ When you're staring at a termination letter or severance offer.
17:32 Severance Pay Calculator
Why over 500,000 people have used it to discover their rights.
18:55 Payrolls Under $2.5M & Severance
Henry spent 10 years in a professional job with his current employer. Earlier this year, he was let go due to "economic pressures in Canada." His employer told him that, because the company has a payroll less than $2.5 million, the law states that he is not owed any severance pay whatsoever. Is that true? Lior Samfiru busts a popular myth.
20:35 Are Probation Periods Mandated?
Is there a law that mandates a 3 month probation period for new employees, in which they can be let go without notice?
23:05 Good Employees and Wrongful Dismissal
I was packaged out after my department was shut down. I was the only manager let go, despite the fact that I was a good performer. Was I wrongfully dismissed?
25:20 Layoff with No Return Date
I work at a software company that just put 10 of us on temporary layoff after we wrapped up a major project. We have no return date, and there's nothing in our contracts that talks about temporary layoffs. Are they legally allowed to do that, if they continue to pay our benefits?

Yes that is what happened to me all of a sudden that “you have too many complaints” and “I think I should should let you go” after years of performing without a word of complaint and without warnings and consultations and isn’t true that this issue will take years to resolve in court it’s a waste of time

Can a person be fired through a phone call also I received a letter on Nov 10 , just about a month later that was dated for oct 18 when I was fired. I have been asking why was I let go and they never did not identify why and what I was fired on. So I really needed answers. Also I signed a contract as well. No one has been giving me answers

I like your information , thanks for your help , I got a question, my employer is threatening me to get me fired for not working overtime even though I told them very clear I wasn’t able to do so, it is on my application when I got the job.20 years ago what can I expect?

In Ontario and British Columbia, Canada, your employer cannot make you work overtime hours if they aren’t your regular hours of work. There are two exceptions to that rule: 1) Your employment agreement may allow your employer to require you to work more hours outside of your regular work day. The company is still required to pay you for those overtime hours at time and a half; and 2) There is a history of your employer asking you to work overtime and you agreeing to their request.

I was Demoted in Oct or Nov of 2019 for not fully Successful performance. Since then I have been mentor to make sure my performance is 100%. I am still being mentor and documented for my work which is low graded position only. Is this something that I can do regarding my situation how should this be handled 🤔 Please help 🙏

@SamfiruTumarkinToronto 2 жыл бұрын

For Canadian employees: Generally speaking, an employer CAN'T demote an employee without their permission. In fact, an employer can't make any significant changes to somebody's job (i.e. reduce their pay, change their hours, duties or position, put them on a layoff). Otherwise, it can be considered a termination, and the worker can leave with a severance package. We can help people in Ontario, British Columbia or Alberta get that full severance. Unfortunately, if an employer demotes an employee, and the employee doesn't protest (in writing) the change, and accepts the lower position for a long period of time (i.e. 2+ years), then they will be seen to have accepted the change, and can't argue termination. They may also have given their employer the right to make changes to their job again.
