Hello I am in Ontario. I worked part time at a job and was temporarily laid off for a few months. However, within those months I picked up a few shifts. Am I still considered temporarily laid off in that time? Does that create a new need for notice to terminate me as I was still terminated at the end of it. Would this impact my severance at all as I currently qualify for one.

Hi, I have an employment contract with a Termination clause. I submitted by Letter of Resignation one week ago and my employer called me to negotiate and asked me to stay on with the company. I did not get a new employment agreement. I have finally decided that I still want to resign because the job is too stressful and not what I expected. Is there any further implication if I resign again? Do I have to provide 2 weeks notice again? Thanks
