After working for 3 months can the employer make up a new contract and start you off as new employee to be put on probation for another 3 months.

I sold my company in March 2017 and one of the employee continues to work for the new owner. He was paid for every hour he worked for and owed. Now that employee wants to sue me for the overtime he worked for and claims that he was not paid for all the hours!! Can he sue me after 15 months of working for someone else or just basic question is can I be sued?

My previous employer submitted a ROE to Service Canada in February 2018 without my knowledge at the time. The dates coincide with a sexual harassment investigation in the workplace. My guess is that they indyebded to dismiss me yet did not as that would qualify as retaliation. I continued as an employee until June 29, 2018. I discovered the ROE had been issued and submitted to Service Canada on July 3, 2018. What legal action can I take? Also, how can I report employer fraud to Service Canada?

Hello, I recently got let go from my sales role citing that the role has been removed. I was offered a severance package along with my lay off letter. In my role, the commissions for sales were paid not when the deal was signed but when it was fully delivered. I have 4 closed deals (Purchase Order signed and processed) but not delivered due to the nature of the shipment. I was laid off 2 days prior to 3 deliveries that were my sales (closed deals). I reached out to the company to ensure I was paid my commissions for it but was denied. Am I eligible for the sales compensation I deserve? Thank You, Utsab Das

My wife works in a sales position but has been over the past few years working to fill in for managers when they are away on holidays. She would get paid a $350 bonus for the week if she was covering for a manager. This week her employer said they were now only going to pay her $250 per week. when she questioned them about it they say it is a bonus not a salary so they can change it at any time that doesn't seem right.
