Hello In regards to Bill 124 I worked as a manager for the LCBO from 2015 to August 2023. I resigned, in good standing. (non union position) They have recently paid the managers "retro" pay for the correction of Bill 124. Am I ? / I feel I am entitled to the retro pay as I had worked with the LCBO during the Bill 124 period of 2019 to approx 2022. Is there a legal potential for me to be entitled to the retro pay? Thank you

Hi, I was injured in a car accident and my doctor recommended a shorter work week (medical note was provided). My employer has retained the services of the third party disability management company which has forced me to sign their consent form using threatening language such as "otherwise your file will be closed for non-compliance". They now hold the right to endlessly investigate my condition and question my health practitioners at my expense. As I am on medical leave without pay I am not entitled to apply for any disability insurance, therefore I am not certain as to why they are repeatedly requiring paperwork given my absence for one day a week has no apparent cost for the company. I feel like the whole procedure is aimed at wearing me down with paperwork and fees. Is this legal? Do I have any recourse? Should I comply? I would really appreciate your input. Thanks

Online is says four or six per cent of the total wages earned in each vacation year as vacation pay (depending upon the employee's period of employment upon the completion of the vacation entitlement year) or I don't know what this means

Employer says they have a right to schedule my 30 minute break, and as such they can schedule it 6,7, or 8 hours after my start time so that it won't effect business needs. They state that I am not allowed to demand to take my break after I've worked 5 hours and it's grounds for insubordination.
