I was written up for missing time at work. But several of the dates they have provided as justification are dates I was absent from work due to an injury I sustained at work and was on WSIB with all the necessary documentation (ie doctor’s note and WSIB claim number). While it was just a write up I am concerned it will be used against me in the future.

My cousin worked for a project management company that she then exclusively did remodeling construction work for Walmart. Walmart cancelled her services so the company released her. She worked for them for 3 years, never had any problems or complaints that she was made aware of. When the company terminated her they did not tell her why Walmart released her. They showed up and wanted their phone and computer returned and gave her 24 hours to signed off on her dismissal with only 2 weeks severance. I gave her your site which said she was owed more severance. She called your office and was told they could book an appointment next week. It was a Friday but she didn't have the time. She called Alberta Standards and they told her 2 weeks was all the company had to pay her. She was too scared to not sign the dismissal and signed. Once you sign the dismissal it is too late to do anything?

Hello! I had a question... I am leaving my job for another job and have quite the large amount of vacation pay accrued but unpaid. I asked my employer if it is possible to get that vacation paid out in chunks over the next 3 pay periods cause I don't want to get taxed hard on my final pay check haha. Is this possible?

What will happen to my LTD next year when I turn 65 next year? I have been receiving it since 2013. Will I be entitled to a severance at that time?
