WEEK THAT WAS: A company changes office locations resulting in a 1 hour plus commute for an employee.  This impacted child care options for the employee and resulted in a constructive dismissal.

WEEK THAT WAS #2: An employee was offered 3 months of severance after 6 years of service in a labour position.  Due to an injury the employee's ability to find fuure work was negative impacted and the severance was increased to reflect this.

CALLER: My daughter in-law is 21 and has been working for a medical office for 17 months.  Her pay is provided by two separate employers and she doesn't receive overtime because of this.  What can she do about this?

COMMON QUESTIONS: Can my employer terminate my employment?

CALLER: My mother has worked in the mental health field for 50 years. She was informed by her reporting manager that her services were no longer required and wasn't given severance.

CALLER: If my employee turns in a resignation notice with a longer duration before their departure, what is the employers obligation in this situation?

CALLER: I received a severance package a few years back that offered severance pay immediately or as an option to be withdrawn over the years but was not terminated, it was offered to all staff.  Once taken, there was no more offered.  Is this correct?

CALLER: As a project manager and a salaried employee I don't get paid overtime.  Is it appropriate to be scheduled to do overtime work consistently by my boss?

CALLER: If a company reduces my benefits significantly, is that grounds for constructive dismissal? If I was to work somewhere else, would I have to adhere to a probationary period?

CALLER: What is the difference between termination pay and severance pay?
