0:00 Intro

2:48 Let go "for cause" due to lateness
After 5 years at my current employer, I moved and my commute increased. I was late a couple of times to work. This happened a few times and I was eventually let go "for cause". Do I have any right to fight this?

6:46 Let go after being recruited
My husband was recently let go from his job. He’s 55, a middle manager and he was recruited to this job by his former employer. He’s been offered a few weeks only of severance pay. Is this normal?

9:59 Fired after filing harassment complaints
What happens if you are harassed during your probation period? I reported the incidents of harassment to my employer, but they did not properly investigate and instead opted to fire me.

13:12 Childcare accommodations refused
At the start of my employment, I informed my employer I would need an adjusted schedule due to childcare obligations. This was an agreed term, but now a year later I’ve been told this will lead to a major reduction in pay.

5 Things employees should know when starting a new job
16:02 1⃣You don’t need to have an employment contract, but if you are asked to sign one, have it reviewed by an employment lawyer first.

23:21 Dramatic change to weekly schedule
I am currently employed as a fulltime receptionist for a local group home. I was hired five years ago for the position with a regular Monday to Friday shift. My employer is now advising me my new hours will include weekend shifts. Do I have any leverage, or can I resign due to this change?

25:29 Sick leave considered job abandonment
Can my employer say I resigned even if I did not do so? After calling in sick for a week, and providing a doctor’s note for medical leave, a supervisor called to inform me this was considered job abandonment and refused to answer any of my questions.

26:50 Rapid Fire Employment Rights
• Can somebody be permanently replaced if they go on Mat Leave?
