0:00 Intro

► 2:06 An employee at a manufacturing plant used some of her sick days over the course of a year for minor surgeries. She used more sick days than she was allotted by her employer. After she went over her limit, the employer warned her a few times. When she took more time off for surgery she was terminated for cause. Can I be fired for taking too many sick days? Can an employer discipline an employee for using sick days?

► 5:11 A caller from https://stlawyers.ca/employmentlawshow'>https://stlawyers.ca/employmentlawshow'>https://stlawyers.ca/employmentlawshow'>https://stlawyers.ca/employmentlawshow The rumour at our company is that when they want to terminate a manager’s employment, they will give them months of working notice instead of severance to save money. So rather than provide a severance package, the company will tell you when they plan on firing you down the road. Can they do that?

► 8:33 POCKET EMPLOYMENT LAWYER.ca I’m 55, and have been an office administrator at a business for 11 years. The company has seen a drop in profits the last few quarters, and as a result they want to put me on a 10 week temporary layoff. My contract doesn’t say they can do this. Do I have grounds for severance? If I accept this layoff, will my years of service reset when I return back to work?

► 25:25 A caller from https://stlawyers.ca/employmentlawshow'>https://stlawyers.ca/employmentlawshow'>https://stlawyers.ca/employmentlawshow'>https://stlawyers.ca/employmentlawshow I worked for 3 years as a real estate agent, but structured as an independent contractor. After our team’s performance slid a bit and I made a blunder, I was mailed a termination notice. When I called them, they offered to hire me back on hourly pay that would have been 25% less than my previous salary. Are real estate agents independent contractors?
