Add Comment Question: Our only full time employee, seasonal business and hired one to two more employees in busy time, was terminated last September. We sold the business and gave him notice on Sept. 1, 2016 and paid him to Sept. 30. His DOH was August 8, 2013. He worked hourly until Jan. 1,2014 and then replaced the manager we had. At the time of hire it was agreed that he did not want to do timesheets and if and when he worked OT he would take it is time in lieu. Upon termination he said we owed him over 10,000.00 in time and lieu for OT hours (over 44) and extra hours(over 40 hour ) . He also claimed we did not pay him enough severance. He told us upon termination thAt he had been keeping timesheets on the computer from Jan. 1,2014, we were not aware of ny timesheets. He also handed us a copy of the timesheets a week or so later. He filed a claim with the MOL in Ontario on Oct. 27,2016. Upon reviewing our notes we noticed that the timesheets he supplied and the ones that he had been keeping on our computer were different and also we saw that the file was not even created until Sept. 29,2015. We were told by MOL to settle and we now have a meeting with them on Sept. 12' 2017. We do not think we wronged him in any way as the timesheets are false as far as we can tell from our work calendar. Any advice? Answer: Thank you for your question. We routinely represent employers at the MOL and would be happy to assist you. Given what you have provided, it would appear that you have treated your former employee fairly. That said, we would need more information and a better understanding of the situation in order to provide you with a legal opinion on your matter. I would strongly encourage you to call us and set up a free and confidential consultation so that one of our employment lawyers can fully review this matter for you.
