While I was on medical leave after major knee surgery, on Feb 4th, I was terminated on March 3rd without cause.
My employer has been secretly recording us without our knowledge or consent, and wrote me up for words I said in private to coworkers. He referenced in the write up that he was listening in to our conversation without him present. I believe this to be immoral, but is it illegal?
Hello, I would like to know if the following can be posted on a website without being sued by an ex employer. Basically i am trying to publicly embarrass my old employer for non payment for services rendered. Hello Dave, It is your brother in law Kevin here you know the guy you have not paid for work done in 2022. As we both know Nathan from the MOL has tried on several occasion to fix the problem , but you are not willing to do the correct thing. FYI Dave i should not be surprised cause we both know you owe a number of people money in Brantford. You can claim this statement is not true , but i have contacted many and they might use this form . Yes there is nothing like hand digging a hole for an in ground pool in August of 2022 and never getting paid for it. Not only hand digging the hole me and another employee had to throw wet dirt up about 7 ft onto the embankment . Now you claim that a cheque was issued well it does not take years to get it and there was no mail strike. Let’s be honest if you wanted us to have the money you live not 5 minutes from our home. When the MOL took $1206.00 from your account you told Nathan you will leave a low balance in the account so i would never get my money. FYI you still owe about $12k if you actually care. Reading some of the reviews on your failed business Dutch Landscaping my favourite is the one 25 k deposit given year later no pool. Many reviews about no return calls or emails or work not complete. When it comes to your reviews i cannot help , but wonder the bad ones have names associated with them and the good ones do not. Why?. Maybe the good ones are fake maybe who knows. At least when you worked here you did good work except the garden lights needed to be replaces under warranty , but you failed to do that. Not surprised. We took care of the garden lights our time and expense. Do you remember when you did our walkway you got paid before your tools went into the back of your truck. So this is how you treat family . Wow congrats .
I would like to request a year's unpaid personal leave from work in Ontario. Should I disclose the reason to my employer, and if so, how much detail is necessary? If I disclose for family reasons, are they legally allowed to ask for details? My collective agreement says that the leave can be granted at the discretion of the employer.
Myself and my partner have been working as live in night responders at an independent living home where we are required to live on site and be on call from 12am-8am 7 days per week and required to respond to alarms, etc immediately, as well as additional duties such as setting up breakfast and some janitorial on the weekend. We each get paid a salary of 22k per year for the 7 day per week position, and out of that comes 900 each per month for ‘rent’ on the place we live in on site. After all is said and done, our take home pay for the 56 hours per week equals about 7.80 per hour. We gave our notice and when they posted our position they are now splitting it into two and paying our same wage to someone for 5 days per week while someone else will do the weekends, which is what made me start thinking about our compensation. We also have never been paid extra for stats in the time we have been here. In looking into the ESA it seems we should at the very least be paid minimum wage take home and the ‘rent’ on the suite we are required to live in should be above and beyond that? I want to be sure I’m interpreting that correctly? Thank you so much in advance.
