What happen if I quit giving two weeks notice but my employee contracts states 4 is required?

Can I be fired for refusing to use my personal cell phone for work if it’s not a condition of employment? Is it ok to ask if I will be reimbursed for using my phone for work purposes. Should I be getting a T2200tax form at the end of the year from the employer so that I can claim it on my taxes. When my hrs on my initial contract change (increase) should I be getting an updated contract? Should my contract include location, days, times and hrs? Right now it’s pretty loose goosy. Only states up to fifteen hrs, no location, days or time during the day.

I am an employee with San Pharmacy Limited operating as York Downs Chemists and York Downs Pharmacy (the Employer). I I have been employed as staff pharmacist since 11 Nov 2010 at York Downs Pharmacy. The contract outlines the duties as following : You agree to perform your duties and responsibilities in your position, as a Pharmacist, as assigned and directed by management. Your duties, hours of work, location of employment and reporting relationships may be adjusted from time to time by the Employer in its full discretion to meet its changing business and operational requirements with such notice as may be prescribed by the Employment Standards Act, 2000 ("ESA"). You agree to abide by all policies of the Employer as may be set out from time to time. The employer is closing the pharmacy and offering me a job at York Downs Chemist which is 7- 10 mins drive from my previous location. I am offered the same position, pay and hours. The nature of work is going to entail learning new skills in addition to my current skill set. There is no relocation clause mentioned in the contract. Is the Employer covered under SanPharmacy ltd that mentions both locations ? . If I choose not to relocate is severance a possibility?

Am I entitled to termination pay in alberta

I've experienced mistreatment, harassment and bullying at work for 18 months by two people, including microagressions on my accent, my last name, my age, being berated in meetings, and lying to damage my reputation. I reported timely all instances to my employer. I was dismissed or told they were going to do something but nothing happened, nobody was held accountable. I later insisted something be done as it kept happening. I filed formal complaints. My manager asked me to drop one complaint against one of his staff, I refused. A couple of weeks later, they mischaracterized my assertive behaviour during a meeting as aggressive and gave me a disciplinary letter, they verbally threatened to fire me if i didn't "improve my behaviour". Do I have a case to bring to the human rights tribunal? How can I hold my employer accountable?
