2:52 Denied leave of absence to care for family member
I have elderly parents who live overseas. Unfortunately, my father has become very ill and needs extra care. I asked my employer for approval for a leave of absence but was denied. I was told if I choose to leave it is considered a resignation. What can I do?

7:39 Severance including commission
I’m 56 years old. I recently moved and took a job at a small company in Sales. I earned a base salary as well as a commission. I was let go due to business being slow and was only offered 2 weeks of severance pay.

10:19 Failure to meet sales targets
I work in software at an engineering firm. My expected daily deliverables were vague, and I’m worried a failure to meet the targets could lead to termination. Can a failed performance review negate severance and E.I. entitlements?

13:38 A pay cut due to modified duties
I’ve been off on a long medical leave but I believe my doctor is going to grant permission to return to work, with accommodation. Can my employer pay me less if I go back to work on modified duties?

5 Fast facts about “without cause” Terminations
15:02 1⃣ Your employer can terminate your employment for any reason and at any time.
15:53 2⃣ Terminations cannot be due to a discriminatory reason i.e. gender, religion, age, etc.
16:41 3⃣ Termination without cause applies even if you made a mistake, didn’t make your goals, or failed a performance review.
17:29 4⃣ You are owed full severance pay when you are let go without cause.
18:11 5⃣You have up to two years after being fired without cause to claim severance pay.

21:07 Labelled contractor and not given severance
I worked for a company as a sales rep for 15 years and am 45 years old. I was classified as a contractor. Last month I was let go when they changed their whole sales structure. I was told that since I’m not an employee I’m not owed any severance. Is this accurate?

24:38 Work schedule changed by employer
If my employer moves me to a new department, can they change my hours? I’ve been working the same schedule for 10 years, and nothing in my employment contract mentions working weekends or evenings.
