My terms and condition only state, hours, pay, allowances and leave. There is no mention of other internal policies. Can I challenge application of certain policy being unfair that they have applied to me (also applied to other employees)? as not in terms and conditions or not. Thank you

I signed an employment agreement but i am 1099. The title of the agreement is literally employment agreement, and mentions nothing about a 1099. Is this legally acceptable?

Hello I'm in South Africa. I'd like to find out what are the possible employment contract risks?

I signed a clause where the employer can use me to do other work outside me normal duties. My employer gave me extra work to do which relieved my co-workers from his job and it was added to mine. Is that legal to do?

If its in contract

[@whaddayawant2197]

In regards to an employment contract does a representative of the company and yourself need to sign the contract?

[@SamfiruTumarkinToronto]

It is most important that the employee sign an employment contract. The contract would likely not be rendered void if the employer did not sign.

[@whaddayawant2197]

@@SamfiruTumarkinToronto thank you for your insight into this. I will be very careful in signing my next employment contract.

If a job is effecting my health physically and mentally and I need to quit and they are forcing me to pay money back am I protected?

[@SamfiruTumarkinToronto]

Great question. In Canada, if you are forced to quit because the work environment has become toxic or impossible to function in, and your employer has failed or refused to take steps to make it a safe place to work, you have rights. You can claim constructive dismissal to get full severance pay - as much as 24 months' pay, and potentially human rights damages, depending on the circumstances. If you work in Ontario, Alberta or B.C., and this has happened to you, contact our employment law team immediately at 1-855-821-5900. We can review your situation, identify your options (including constructive dismissal) and hammer out the best path forward: stlawyers.ca/contact-us/

[@iovethpiedrahitaa4546]

Does it apply for a member of a union as well?

[@SamfiruTumarkinToronto]

Great question. This content only applies to non-unionized employees in Canada. Unionized employees are subject to the collective bargaining agreement that is decided upon by their employer and union.
