How about when an employee is accused of criminal allegations? And then there is no disciplinary hearing. The employee is then suspended and then told he/she will get a fair hearing which he/she never gets. Along the line of investigation and during the suspension they already make plans to prosecute employee, facts then show that the employee is very likely not guilty of the allegations. Employee writes to the board pleading for a disciplinary hearing and gives facts about the case that they are unaware of. After 4 months of suspension, they did not constitute a disciplinary hearing because they realized they may have messed up, they then go ahead to terminate employee's appointment and change the "FOR CAUSE" reason to DISMISSAL FOR GROSS Misconduct and deny the employee his severance benefits and unpaid salaries for the months of suspension just because complaining to the board exposing the plot to set employee up was foiled. Also note that employee is being victimised for raising awareness on tax and pensions remittance issues which is a protected right activity. So they cook this up to set up the employee with the sole aim of getting rid of the employee. What is a likely cause of action for this employee?
It is always a best practice to get examples of bullying and harassment in writing, documented, from the other party, as it creates a record of their behaviour.
@@SamfiruTumarkinToronto I have 2+ years of documentation. I thought I was crazy or I was 'interpreting it wrong' until I asked the supervisor directly and they admitted that yes indeed they were angry and aggressive towards me.
Hi my name is John. Me and my partner work for the same employer. We have a little baby girl. But in the summer she went back to work. And for some reason they're cutting my hours every week.

Hi there. Employment laws vary between countries and again within their separate states, provinces or regions. What we discuss in our videos and programs concerns employment law specifically in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, Canada.

Hi Ver'leana. In Canada (specifically Ontario, Alberta and BC) you legally have up to two years from the moment you were fired to pursue a proper severance package, with help from an employment lawyer.
The Ministry of Labour only enforces your MINIMUM severance pay (or sometimes no severance at all if you don't meet their threshold) through the Employment Standards Act. Your FULL severance pay entitlements are enforced by common law, through decades of court cases, and can be as much as 24 months' pay.
@@Dendrothe In Ontario if you are already in the midst of a claim with the Ministry of Labour, you cannot pursue severance with an employment lawyer under common law. If you are still early in the claims process, you might be able to withdraw.
@@SamfiruTumarkinToronto I put it in on the 22nd no response as of yet. I found you after I did it. I used your severance pay calculator and gave you my info.
I work 8 years and 10 months this coming June 2020 as a caregiver.unfortunately my employer told me that I will only be working until end of june.am I qualified for Severance pay? I'm 54 years old no.Thank you
In Canada, many of these rules apply to both non-unionized employees and independent contractors, as well as employees working under a fixed-term contract.
