I have been off work for 3 years due to a work injury, I was discouraged from filing a wsib Claim from MGR and claimed disability instead, disability claim was denied, I then proceeded with the wsib where it was also denied, theres is proof of a injury through MRI results and doctors diagnoses, my union has now terminated my benefits and my company is not returning my calls to give me status of my employment, I have asked to go back to work in the past with accommodation, what are my options.

Under Ontario's ESA a temporary layoff becomes a termination after a certain number of weeks. If your final pay cheque includes a number of weeks worth of vacation pay (for a vacation you have not yet taken), does week 1 of the temporary layoff begin on the first weekday after your last day at work, or does week 1 begin on the first weekday after the number of weeks of vacation have passed?

On May 29 2020 the Ontario government made some COVID-19 related changes to the ESA with regards to temporary layoffs, constructive dismissal, paid benefits, etc. These temporary rules apply retroactively to March 1, 2020 and will expire six weeks after the declared emergency ends. Do any of these changes apply to a non-union employee if they were placed on a temporary layoff prior to March 1 2020?

My husband started a really good job with a company and after about eight months they realized he never signed a employment contract. Because the job was really good and didn't want to ruffle any feathers he just signed it right away. Afterwards we realized the contract limits his various rights regarding severance and such. 1: is the contract binding? 2: Even though it says I have obtained legal advise or not, is the contract still binding??
