I would like to reword my last question. Appreciate your help in my understanding. My work has recently found out that I will be travelling while on STD. My physician has approved this travel and it’s not in our company policy not to leave the province while on leave. Our 3rd party STD company and/or my work are trying to impose restrictions of travel (which is outside of what is in our policy or what my specialist has advised) only because they found out after the fact and don’t want me to travel? They are threatening to terminate me if I don’t cancel my trip. The 3rd party company responsible for our STD called me and advised I’m not to be travelling while on leave. Can they legally impose restrictions for something outside of our company policy?

I am an employee of 27 years with the same company. in 2022 a new company purchased the company I was working for. The new company pays staff 1 week behind and my old company paid 1 week ahead. The new company now is stating to get all staff on the same system all the staff of the old company will now loose that 1 week of pay. I discussed with the owner and stated as far as I am concerned my employment contract issued to me in 2021 stipulates a annual salary and I expect that in any given year that is what I expect to earn. Your insight on this matter would be appreciated.
