if I am still within my 6 month probation period, do I need to provide a 4 week notice

I did an phone interview with a hiring manager at Rogers back in Dec 2025. They told me I am a strong candidate and should expect the final interview stage. However it is April today and I still did not hear back. Does this violate the new "ghosting rule" that was added to bill 149?

Is it legal for an employer to reduce my hours because I cannot perform other duties due to recognized, documented and accepted physical limitations (age related)? They are doing this to the three of us in our area even though there is still work available to do. The Supervisor informed us verbally tonight the manager told him to send us home early and our hours were cut to 3 hours per day. It is common knowledge the manager is under pressure to cut costs. Is he allowed to do this?

I am currently on an approved unpaid LOA to care for my husband during his critical illness. I recently received notice from my employer that a severance package will be provided upon my scheduled return, which has raised serious concerns regarding my ongoing benefits. Because my husband’s condition remains critical, maintaining our current benefits is essential to cover his necessary and costly medications. With this in mind, I would like to inquire about taking subsequent of absence. If I meet the eligibility criteria set forth by the Employment Standards Act and provide the required documentation to my employer, does the company have the discretion to refuse a subsequent leave (family medical leave, critical illness and family caregiver) under these circumstances?

The company I work for has two office locations in the GTA that our current work policy states we can work from any office location. The location that I currently spend about 50-75% of my time at apparently is going to be closed and we are being told we will need to travel to the other office location which is much further from the current location and my home. Does this change of office location constitute constructive dismissal?
