Had an employee who was not doing their job consistently. Talking back to the manager and was let go due to poor performance over and over again. Was not written up but was told repeatedly to change and to complete the jobs asked or stay later to finish them off the clock. Is now threatening labour board about some apparent paperwork signed regarding tasks need to be completed that if we're not done would end up in a write up or dismissal. Was given notice through text from manager that this week would be their and they were being let go. Now they are making crazy claims that the business was making them work for free or be fired. Which is ridiculous. Is there any merit to this? The employee then went ahead and slandered management and the business online publicly without and proof.
Thank you for your question. There is no merit to this. That said, no one can stop the employee from filing a complaint. What the employee doesn't understand (which is good for you) is that filing a complaint with the Labour Board is the worst thing that he can do. By doing that, he is potentially giving away 95% of his entitlements. So this is something that you should not be concerned about. With respect to posting on Facebook, we can easily get him to stop. Give me a call to discuss these issues.
