After I asked for a raise, my manager suddenly started becoming critical and micromanaging. They pay my colleague in the exact same position more than me. I have a feeling that they might be trying to get rid of me. Any advice?

On call coverage at our workplace has been largely voluntary, with it being built into 2 positions. Recently there has been a lack of volunteers due to low compensation, the draw on personal time, low staff, and does not aid in professional development (does not lead to promotions). Now there is talk about forcing positions that have never had any on call component, to be on call. My question is, what are our rights in regards to this? Can they do this? And can we say no without repercussions? We are in AB. Thanks!

I worked 2.5 years as a cross border truck driver between Ontario and USA day runs but mostly within Ontario. I was given a 4 weeks notice of termination with a $881.41 severance less applicable Statutory deductions representing approximately 4 days wages. Some people are telling me my payout is correct as a federal truck driver. However other people are telling me that I should be getting significantly more money for my severance payout. Should I be getting a greater severance payout?

I have a simple question. I sold my company to a firm. As part of the contract they included a condition stipulating that I could not work for or start a business in the same industry for 5 years. I currently work for them as my payout is over 3 years. My question is: Is this clause enforceable. And is it enforceable beyond the border of Canada. Thank you.

I am asking this on behalf of my son who is 19. He was employed as an apprentice and was told he was laid off and told that was my final day! Would I be entitled to two weeks severance? I worked for the company while attending highschool and full time since 2022 - October 2024
