How to ask for an extension to a deadline for signing a Release form?

I work the same hours every week, monday to friday, 8 hour shifts, in a manufacturing plant in Ontario. Yesterday at the end of the shift, the management notified the employees that the following shift was cancelled due to computer problems in the office where the orders are processed. There was 16 hrs notice given. There is no contracts or agreements signed at this company. Does Ontario labour law not stipulate that 48hrs notice must be given for shift cancellation or 3 hours must be paid? Thanks

Employer is contacting me after termination (but before final pay) for passwords to devices. Do I need to respond?

I work at a franchise restaurant and everytime there has been a minimum wage increase the restaurant owners have announced that our tipout will be increasing on the same day that the wage hike goes into effect. The last wage increase our tipout went up so much that not only did I not get to keep any of the wage increase it cost me an extra 40 -60$ per week to cover the tipout. The upcoming minimum wage hike that starts Oct. 1st we all received notice that our tipout is going up again. So yet again I actually will end up making less $ instead of more. Is this legal, can my employer use $ from increasing tipout to cover the cost of the minimum wage hike?

I work the same M-F 9-5 hours every week but am paid a salary. Is a salaried employee who works the same hours each week deemed to have a "regular work week" or does section 65 6 apply for calculating severance? Thanks
