Hello.I had been working for almost 2 years 100% from home when my employer has introduced a covid 19 vaccine mandate even tough it was not legally required to. I did not comply because I already had natural immunity through previous infection and I also did not wanted to share my medical information.I have then received 6 weeks of advance notice in lieu of notice and an ROE stating "Quit" I have worked for that non-unionized employed for almost 7 years and have signed an employment contract with a clause limiting my severance to the minimum requirements pursuant to the ESA. I have e-mailed Mr Lior S. early this week who has confirmed that I still had a claim even tough I have agreed on the contract to limit my severance to the minimum ESA. Could you please confirm what else could be claimed aside from the additional 6 weeks if my employer has a payroll of more than 2.5 millions? Thanks.

Can they withhold my paycheck because I didn’t submit a photo ID?

I have recently been given a temporary lay-off from a salaried position that I've held for just under 2 years. This layoff could last anywhere from 12-35 Weeks. During this time, I'm still entitled claim on my benefits. In the email I received from HR they stated "In the event that you gain alternate employment, you will still be required to return to work on your recall date, failing which you will be deemed to have automatically resigned your employment." This sounds suspiciously like their forcing my hand at not being able to claim severance, and I correct in this assumption? - Am I entitled to severance? - If so, and I find new employment, and refuse the recall, does the impact my ability to receive severance? - What are my best options?

My employer of 2.5 years has suddenly handed me a contract stating that another person’s salary will be deducted from my earnings. I do 2 full time positions at the dealership and in March of last year they began deducting another employees salary from my earnings. I was pushed into signing a contract that shows exactly this on paper. Are they allowed to do this?
