Chapter 1:

WSIB & Employment Accommodations

A woman who hurt her back at work and was dealing with WSIB. She was denied by WSIB who claimed that this was not a workplace injury. Her employer then sent her a letter letting her know that she would have to return to work because she was denied by WSIB, and if she did not return in 3 days she would be terminated. Is my employer allowed to terminate me because I was denied by WSIB?

Chapter 2:

Long Haul Trucker & Duty to Accommodate

27-year long haul truck driver developed chronic back pain and asked his employer to accommodate his disability. The employer refused to accommodate his medical condition. Lior explained what an employer’s responsibilities are.

Chapter 4:

Caller: Termination Pay vs. Severance Pay

I deal with firings at work often. I come across termination and severance pay and would like to ask about the difference between these.

If I have signed a severance agreement with my previous employer and the contract is breached can I go after more severance?

Chapter 6:

Caller: For Cause Termination

I have an employee working at a property who took a company vehicle without any permission and used it for personal reasons. Is this grounds for termination with cause?

Chapter 7:

Caller: Considerations for Changing Positions

I have been with my employer for over 2 years. I was recently recruited for a new opportunity that is very promising. I was offered an retention bonus to stay with my current employer for at least a year. What should I be considering if I decide to leave my position?

Chapter 8:

Caller: Changes to Compensation

My company has decided to change the coverage plan and compensation of the employees after being purchased.

Chapter 9:

Caller: Limitations of Accommodation

I have an employee returning from maternity leave who was injured in a car accident before their return. What are my obligations for accommodating my employee on return?

Chapter 10:

Caller: Break Requirements

Is there a required lunch break for a full time employee who works an 8 hour shift?

Chapter 11:

Email: Performance Improvement Plans

I have been put on a performance improvement plan for 90 days. The things in my plan are not all in my control. Are they able to terminate my because of that?
