My manager posted a part time position for 6 months while I was on short term disability however my disability was denied so I had no choice but to return an nobody was hired for the position however the position is still up on the website. I am thinking by law they can post for a position while I was away but I was only away from April 24 to May 26 and due to the fact that I was fiend disability I had to return to work because this is my only source of income.

I was recently terminated from my Sales position after more than 12 years. My contract states that I am owed commission for a certain amount of time after termination but that is not being honoured. I was also paid a substantially lower severance package than I believe I am owed. What should I do next?

Good morning, I watch your show every Saturday and it has been instrumental and helping me with my own personal disability claim. I was just approved for long-term disability until I’m 65 years old, which is 2049 and I’m wondering how does it work with my employer, do I have to put in my resignation or am I entitled to severance? I greatly appreciate any advice you may have on this matter. Thank you Ambrose

Can my employer force me to change my schedule?

I've been with my employer for a little over 6 years. My day-to-day work has changed significantly in the past 1 year or so. Compensation has hit a glass ceiling, promotion isn't an option, and attempts to move internally haven't been successful. Management acknowledges the problem but haven't been able to do anything tangible to help. If I resign, is severance an option, and if so, how much?
