WEEK THAT WAS #1: Severance pay for a full-time employee who worked 3 years as casual employee, and why that casual position counts towards seniority and severance.

WEEK THAT WAS #2: An employee on a medical leave requested workplace accommodation from his employer, but was completely ignored. What should he do?

CALLER: I caught one of my employees stealing, and fired him. He apologized, and is now asking for his severance pay. Do I owe him anything?

CALLER: I felt unsafe driving my work vehicle. I brought it up with my employer. They then took my truck away for repairs. It's now been two weeks, and no truck. Have I been constructively dismissed?

CALLER: My sister is employed in a big bank call centre. She took a month of stress leave. After she took the leave, the employer turned around and decided to deny the leave, and asked her to pay the money back. Is that right?

COMMON EMPLOYMENT LAW QUESTIONS: What can I do if I believe my boss is setting me up so they can fire me?

CALLER: I work 50 hours a week, but only getting paid for 40 hours. My employer says because I'm salaried, I am not entitled to overtime pay. Is that true?

COMMON EMPLOYMENT LAW QUESTIONS: My boss is treating me badly and harassing me. What do I do?

CALLER: What's the difference between giving an employee working notice, and providing them severance pay upon termination?

COMMON EMPLOYMENT LAW QUESTIONS: Why do you always say that employees get so much severance, when the government website says they aren't owed as much?

Canadian Employment Lawyer Lior Samfiru, founding partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, reveals your workplace rights in Toronto, the surrounding GTA and across Ontario.

Lior shatters myths and misconceptions about severance pay, terminations, workplace harassment, overtime pay, wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, duty to accommodate, and more.
