Hello I signed a job contract with a company to start on July4th/22. Since then I have had three weeks of training in Alberta where their head office is located. This is a full time position since the training I have not worked any hours yet. My question is are they required to provide me with hours to work or even give me some monetary stipen. The reason I am not working yet is the clinic I will be working in is not fully built yet. But they do have four clinics outside of Ontario.

I have recently given about 3 weeks notice of resignation due to the fact that I’m being mistreated at work and been put on a performance plan. I have expressed many times that they are penalizing me for stats that I have no control over. My manager keeps pointing fingers at me and even insisted that I quit if I’m not happy with the job anymore. He has also started pulling up what he say are “misconducts” that were never brought up until I started speaking up.. Now he still schedules coaching meeting with me and I’m not sure if I should still be speaking with my manager. Should I still go to these meetings? If so, what should I avoid from saying? Should I mention I will be seeking legal advice? I have given advance notice because I will be out of the country and can’t seek legal advice till I come back.. also My basic annual salary was 50000 last year then switched to part time 4 months ago due to stress & toxic environment, my base salary now is 26000, if I were to get severance what salary will severance be based on?

“I accepted a job offer but then received a better offer from another company, so I took that job and quit the first offer. A few days before I was to start, the second company rescinded the offer due to restructuring. They knew I was giving up the other job to take their offer. Am I owed any sort of compensation?”

Hello I have been let go from my job about a year ago because I did not agree on taking the COVID vaccine nor getting a require COVID test every two weeks at an out of pocket expense. I was at my job for 15yrs here in California. I continue to go to work day after day being herrased by management untill the very last lay when I got to work and they said I had to leave because I didn't provide them with proof of COVID vaccine or a negative test. I don't know if I have any rights at this point. Can you help?My employer said at the time, not to come back to work untill I provide what they asked for. Also a few weeks later I got a call from my lead asking to turn in my badge and uniform. I've been having a hard time trying to get unemployment from them as well. I have my elderly father who depends on me to provide for him. Any suggestions or leads will be much appreciated.
