I am on a medical leave for stress because my employer doubled my workload. What can I do?

My employer is no longer honouring the benefits they promised to provide me with during the job interview. Can I force them to change their mind?

I was suspended without pay after an incident occurred during my shift. I believe I will be fired "for cause" tomorrow. What are my rights?

What does the Pocket Employment Lawyer do?

My employer is eliminating a child care benefit that covered $9,000 in child care costs for my two children. What are my rights?

If you are an employee, you should never make assumptions about your employment rights

I have been put on a 13-week Temporary Layoff with benefits. Do I have to wait until after the 13 weeks to get severance pay?

Can my manager demote me and reduce my salary?

If you are an employee, never accept significant changes to the terms of your employment

If you are an employee, never accept a verbal termination. Get proof of the lay off in writing.

I am applying for a new position. The employment contract for the new job contains a clause that restricts severance pay to two weeks and forces me to use the company's doctor for medical issues.
