We are a small non profit organization with 4 part time employees, in richmond Hill, being sued on the "constructive dismissal" of our former employee, Executive Director. Even though she tendered her resignation, the argument is that she saw organization not being able to pay her wages, which leads to her "out of job". Hospice received a grant that was paying her wages for last 3 years, came to an end in June 2014. Hospice being a nonprofit organization mostly relies on fundraising for operational expenses, other than the program staff wages. Part of her job description was to fundraise, and she did not put enough efforts into it, thus resulting into organization going through financial challenges. Board still tried to keep in good terms with her, decided to keep her position and pay for month of July, ( despite having limited funds ) to work with her and she just walked out on the organization, now claiming severance. The Board has been working above and beyond their scope voluntarily to run the organization without an ED (since August1st 2014) and will appreciate your consideration in guiding us into this matter.
