I’ve been at the bank for over 7 years and my insurer has claimed has asked for receipts for 6 months of claims as one claim they mentioned didn’t match the records from the provider. Is termination from the employer guaranteed or is there any way to not be terminated if repayment for any claims they claim shouldn’t have been paid for is reimbursed? Can an employment lawyer stop the termination?

I worked my a non profit that doesn't make 2.5M I don't believe I would be entitled the severance pay. I have worked there for 9 years and they gave me 8 weeks notice of when my last day will be. I am a contract worker that, that's when my contract would end. Am I entitled to anything past the contract end date or since they gave me 8 weeks notice that is enough.

I have been working in a small company in Ontario for 38 years. The employer has lost my employment letter signed back then. Our CEO (appointed 2 years ago) asked me if he should draft up a new employment letter for me. How should I respond? Over 38 years, my position has changed from a Junior Engineer to General Manager (5 years ago).

I work for an American company here in Ontario. When hired I was paid salary plus commission. In the offer it stated I was to be available 24/7 during the week and work one weekend a month. A few years ago the company changed our pay to salary plus merits. There was no mention about nights and weekends in that offer. Then a month ago they changed my title from Territory Manager to Territory Representative. Do I still have to work nights and weekends without being compensated?

I have been working for the same company since 2017. I was hired as a daycare supervisor and was that position until 2022 when I moved into a book keeping position which I only work 10 hours a week. We do have contracts but they are renewed year after year and I have been working continuous. I just found out verbally that they will not be renewing my contract come September. Am entitled to termination pay? When does the pay start as of now when they verbally told me or when my contract end date is up?
