I faced discrimination and harassment at work. I complained. Workplace did third party investivation (paid by employer) and the result came out as "uncivility" not harassment or discrimination. I dont want to return to such toxic environment. How do I go about this without resigning? Can I ask to get laid off? Or do I hireba lawyer?

Working remotely for a large bank in Ontario for 10+ years with high performance, if I begin to miss meetings and my work quality and quantity significantly goes down due to personal family life circumstances (not medical), if my employer chooses to fire me, would they be required to pay severance? And would they be required to give me official warnings prior to dismissal? Thank you.

My termination date was August 1, 2022. It is now the 22 of October and I still have not received my ESA minimum payout. The company and I are working on a severance package that we can both agree on. They are saying that the ESA minimums will be part of the severance package. Don't they have to payout the ESA amounts even before we agree on a package? Is this a breach and what can i do?

Good afternoon. I was just reading one of the posts on this site and it is similar to what I am going through. I worked at a business that is one of many owned by a larger company. I live in Ontario and had agreed to a severance salary continuance. However, the paper I signed was called a Full and Final Release that referred to the offer as Schedule A. The Release paper had both the business name and a legal name, and the offer has only the business name. The offer was the business name will pay me the salary. Will they keep paying my salary if they change the business name or the legal name or even both names?

I was terminated as a result of restructuring. I'm on a salary continuance ending in August of 2023. The company that owns the hotel is about to change the name as they are rebranding it. Will they still pay the continuance if full as the papers I sign papers that said the will pay me of guaranteed salary continuance?
