0:00 Intro

2:33 Legal advice after termination of employment
I was let go due to restructuring and told that their severance offer was impeccable and I could seek out legal advice to confirm it. What should my package actually include?

6:20 Severance if a business shuts down
My employer recently notified me that the company was closing down. After asking for confirmation in writing regarding my entitlements, I was told I’m only owed 3 weeks’ notice.

8:50 Negotiating for a pay raise
I’m on contract but believe that I’m an employee. I was told I would have to negotiate for a raise but I could be let go without any compensation or severance. I’ve been with the company for 23 years.

12:20 Reduced severance based on new job
I was let go last week after over 7 months employed as a senior manager. I was offered 11 weeks’ severance but told if I found a new job, the remaining amount would be reduced.

What you need to know about taking stress leave
14:54 1⃣ You have a right to take unpaid stress leave if you have support from your doctor.
15:45 2⃣ You may be able to get short or longterm disability benefits if you can’t work due to stress or anxiety.
16:48 3⃣ You have a right to return to the same job and pay you had before your stress leave.

20:40 Probation as a means of discipline
I’ve been placed on an extended probation period by a manager despite no mention of this in my employment contract. If I’m let go in the next few months, would I be owed any compensation?

23:34 Parttime hours cut by employer
I have been working parttime for the last three years. A few weeks ago, my hours were cut. To make up the difference, I took another parttime job. I am now being told this is a conflict of interest. Can a parttime employer require exclusivity like this?
