I am male age 79 and still working as a sales person and have been working for my present employer for about 14 years, but now I may have to resign. The reason for my possible resignation is because my current landlady due to age (82) and health has decided to sell the property and I may have to move Pickering to be close to my daughter. Here is my question: Should I resign, would I be entitled to any severance pay. I want to thank you in advance for your answer. I would be happy to provide more information if required.

I am a supervisor and one of my part time employees had a heart attack( while off work) and now is not available to work his regular scheduled shifts.

Is the company obliged to keep this employees position available for them untill they recover from heart attack?

just found out one of my employees is doing drugs (cocaine) while at work . what do I do

I got pulled into the office at work on Friday and told I had 2 choices. 1 resign, 2 be terminated. Our insurance company investigated some of my medical claims. And believe they are fraud. And they sent a letter to my work. I haven't been to court and charged, or the police have not even tried to contact me. I know they were looking for a reason to fire me. I haven't signed anything. They want me to come in on Monday to sign. I don't want my job back now. Just some sort of payout. I've worked there for 5 years. Another thing is the bosses son was arested last year. For having a loaded hand gun and drugs in his car.His dad post bail and he came back to work right away with a ankle monitor on. Can I get a payout? I think it's a little early to be fireing me.
