WEEK THAT WAS #1: An Ottawa-based employee was asked to increase their number of trips to Toronto, from once every few months to a few times each week. Alex explains why this would qualify as Constructive Dismissal, meaning termination with severance pay.

WEEK THAT WAS #2: A 60-year-old sales manager at a car dealership was let go after 10 years. He was offered 8 weeks of severance pay. How much severance pay was he actually owed?

Common Employment Law Questions: What can I do if I think my boss is setting me up in order to fire me?

Common Employment Law Questions: My boss is treating me badly/my boss is harassing me. What are my options when reacting to workplace harassment?

Common Employment Law Questions: Do I have to accept a Temporary Layoff?

CALLER: I work in a unionized environment. The employer will be changing my hours of work after 10 years. The union says they won’t fight the termination. Can I hire you?

Common Employment Law Questions: The government website says I’m owed much less severance pay than what SeverancePayCalculator.com suggests. Who should I believe?

CALLER: My wife was fired, and the union hasn’t been assisting her with her termination.

EMAIL: Can I be fired after being falsely accused of something I didn’t do? My employer refused to listen to my side of the story, and just took someone else’s word.

EMAIL: My company has been sold to another company. I don’t know if I have a job with the new owner. Am I entitled to severance pay?
