Add Comment Question: I’ve been a permanent full-time employee with my company for 8 years. I went on maternity leave and, when I was ready to return, I was informed my previous role had been eliminated due to a reorganization. Other employees impacted by the same change were placed into permanent full-time roles, but I was only offered a 12-month contract position. I accepted because it was the only option presented to me to return to work. My contract ends in December 2026, and I’m concerned about whether this was fair given my 8 years of service, especially since the change occurred while I was on maternity leave and I lost the security of my permanent position. I would like advice on whether my rights were affected and whether I have any options. Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. We will need additional details to properly assess your situation.
