Forced Resignations - Employment Law Show: S3 E24

[@terrencemilton5088]

I don't think any of my employers are trying to do this. Force me to quit. But I do understand the tactic of making the work environment so unpleasant that you would want to quit.

[@SamfiruTumarkinToronto]

That act alone, of making the work environment a difficult one to operate in, is enough to trigger a termination through constructive dismissal. Employees need to document this type of conduct to prove that their employer is nudging them to walk away from their job.

People should know your fees to represent them.

How about if the employer keeps asking you to do more and more hours where you’re working 90 hours a week. They are understaffed and can’t seem to get staffed because they refusedTo pay extra so the employeeHas to work to keep the store running.

I forced to quit after I told my boss I needed to relocate back to the East Coast.I had a remote position,so I didn’t understand what the problem was with me working on another coast from home.I offered to pay my own airline tickets if I ever needed to fly back. She flat out told me no. My boss forced me to resign stating the position needed someone to work in that city, however as soon as I did give her my resignation, she reposted the job and re located to the home office, in yet in another State,I didn’t get my vacation pay,I have not been able to find a job in months,because who knows what’s she’s saying about me behind my back, some of the coworkers said she complained everyday up until my last day,that she was upset that I was moving.Do I have a case?

I was denied LTD, was told my employers could no longer offer me modified work. I was told to go on STD, and then go to EI sick benefits and then I’ll be transitioned into LTD. I was denied LTD by Sunlife Insurance. I was devastated, I applied for Ontario Works and had to live off of $400.00/mth, then I applied for ODSP which I stayed on for 3 mths, then my CPPD kicked in. I had to repay Ontario Works from March-July/19. My employer called me and wants a meeting with me, my union rep stated that they would only pay for half a year based on past practices? I am really scared

With me it would have hurt me if they fired me because it was a government company. They told me if they fire me I won't be able to work for another government company ever. So I was forced to resign. I contacted the hr after I was told to leave. Hr told me I was still in the system. I asked if I could be transfered or if I still had my job They said it was up to my manager. Never heard back from her regardless of phone calls and text

[@Mollyy606]

What about if you sign a contract at the beginning of employment and it says the contract and terms will renew yearly.but the terms are different hours, pay rate and duties have increased. Is the contract null and void?

[@SamfiruTumarkinToronto]

No, the contract is not necessarily null and void.

[@toe_tag_9766]

Sorry. I miss understood. You don't get severance when you retire?

[@SamfiruTumarkinToronto]

Hi Toe Tag. In Ontario and British Columbia, you are not entitled to a severance package when you retire. Severance is paid to an employee when they are let go or terminated from their job.

[@toe_tag_9766]

@@SamfiruTumarkinToronto Thank you for your reply. Now my employer want to bring us in on day shift from night shift after 23 years. So stressed out. No idea what to do. No other jobs out there with this pay.

[@SamfiruTumarkinToronto]

@@toe_tag_9766 An employer is not allowed to significantly change an employee's shifts, especially after the employee has worked a specific shift for many years. An employee's options in that case would be to either accept the change in shifts, or quit/resign with full severance pay, which would be based on age, length of service, position, income and other factors.

[@toe_tag_9766]

@@SamfiruTumarkinToronto Well I may have to call you for my options. At this point I'm at a stressful point of time and not sure what to do. What's a ball park figure if I were to resign? I will be herw 29 years in October.

[@SamfiruTumarkinToronto]

“Thousands of hours of your life every week” There’s 168 hours in a week 😐

[@SamfiruTumarkinToronto]

For some, it feels like there are zeros on the end of that number when it comes to their job.
