Alberta-, Hi I’m looking for employment laws regarding changing hours/contract on returning from maternity leave. They have given me a letter 2 days before my return stating I have 60 days to sign and accept a letter to confirm I will increase my hours to full time. There was a company merger also whilst I was off which complicates things (top 5 Canadian bank)
Hello,
If your employer requires you to drastically increase your hours, this may amount to a constructive dismissal. A constructive dismissal is when your employer makes a substantial change to your working conditions without your consent. In such a case, you can quit your job and pursue your severance. To find out how much severance you may be owed visit severancepaycalculator.com
You first decision is therefore to determine whether you are willing to leave your job and pursue your severance in response to this change. If you are, I recommend you contact us to help guide you through the process.
