My supervisor told me no call no show after not calling for one day because I wasn’t feeling well and told her if I can come in later but she refused because she found someone to replace me. I’ve been working there for 2 years now and I’ve called in sick a few times but I was a hardworking employee and I always come in to work. Can I get fired right away from 1 no call no show? I always call in if I’m absent but it was just one day I wasn’t feeling well

When part-timers get terminated from work, do they get a severance pay or does that apply to full-timers only?

I got fired for being late often, I wasn't on probation no more I was working there for a bit around 6 months, and I got fired the day of with out a weeks notice. Is that right?

During my hiring interview on my inquiry about 407 ETR bill I was verbally told that my 407 ETR bill will be reimbursed by the company. The company has been reimbursing my 407 ETR bills for more than 11 years. But just recently they told me that 407 ETR reimbursement is not specifically written in my contract hence it will not be reimbursed in future. Do I have a right to claim 407 ETR reimbursement as part of wages?

I've being working for a company for 15 years and have always received a yearly merit increase. In April of this year I received a letter from my HR Department stating that I've reached the maximum salary range for my position, as a result my salary will be frozen, until the salary range is increased. My questions is do I still continue to do the annual performance review. As per the company policy the merit process rewards individuals for achievement of their goals which aligned with the business strategy. I've always attain these goals and given a merit increase. Going forward whether I attain these goals, I will not get an increase as outlined in the letter. I do want to be petty, but I believe I'm reaching this letter (for the first time ever)because I had some issues with my supervisor, and spoke with HR about it. No-one in my department received this letter. There is no other position for me to apply for. I have 15 years more to work before retirement.
