But after 3 years i contacted the company i was previously with and they offered me another job. Now its been another 8 years with them. So my question is about if i ever had to collect severance. Would the first 15 years matter when calculating severance? Would it be a total of 24 yrs or would it be reset because there was a 3 year break in employment with this company?- Ive been with this company for 19 years - They approached me about a promotion after we had 2 people leave - In the small print off the offer I signed was a 3 month - 1 day probation period - During the probation period I was given no feedback about how I was doing even after I had asked - I was given a 4 week training plan - Everything seemed good then I received a call to come into the office - They terminated my new position due to not meeting company expectations, and demoted me back to my old position - This was done just outside of the 3 month probation period, and before my 4 week training plan was completed. I signed the offer June 28th, position was terminated Sept 30th. 3 months - 1 Day would have been Sept 27th? - Is this considered constructive dismissal and am I entitled to my full severance of 19 years? - Work place is also turning toxic for me as everyone is talking about my demotion, I don't even want to be there anymoreHow many weeks/months of severance does an employer owe you if you’ve been off on LTD for 10 years and they are saying you’ve frustrated the contract?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   Next Page 1 of 1471
