I was out on medical leave (on EI) the company iI work for (Been here 7 yrs) gave out a bonus for them being in business for 60 yrs to all the employees, I did not recieve this bonus and was wondering if I'm entitled to recieve it ? I've been back to work 3 weeks Monday

I was put on paid leave for 3 weeks for a situation that was being investigated with other employees from my department. Upon conclusion of the investigation I was terminated for other reasons other than the reason I was put on paid leave. I have been with the company for 15 years as a manager and believe I was wrongfully terminated. Am I entitled to severance although I have found a new job?

I am looking to initiate medical leave with my employer as soon as possible. My doctor will issue a medical certificate on August 13. I am a department manager with 10 direct reports at a construction company in Calgary. They have no short term benefits. When should I give my notice? What should I say exactly? Can they claim undue hardship?

I have worked for the same company for 37 years, I am currently on sick leave and have a medical certificate, I have been on sick leave for over a month. Every year we receive a year-end bonus, my employer deducted 95 hours from my bonus for what they say was unauthorized leave. I didn't think I needed premission from my employer to take medical leave. Since they have deducted this money could this be looked at as constructive dismissal.

I have worked at a pharmacy for 2 months now and my boss has just told me I am a free lance contractor rather than an employee. I believe I am being misclassified, what should I do in this situation?
