I was just at work and my supervisor asked me to make another product. I shook my head and laughed. He told me not to shake my head and I responded well you know I have a sore back and ur making me make this product n dump all these bags so . So he than asked me what u dont want to make it. I said I have no problem making it just remember if I kill my back don't expect me in on Monday. So as I was gathering my materials for the batch, I was lifting a drum up and the cart it was on slipped out of my hands and flew up. My supervisor began to yell at me for the drum flying up n making alot of noise. I responded back by yelling back that it slipped out of my hands so fuck off. Which was not a smart thing to say. He than sent me home for the day. Just before I left work I went to the HR person to say I wanted to file a complaint against my supervisor. At that time my supervisor was in the HR persons office. The hr person asked me to wait outside. I said sure. As I walked away my supervisor told me to shut up. I just ignored it and continued to walk away. When I saw my supervisor walk out of the office I made my way to the office for my turn to speak to human resource about my complaint, my supervisor and I passed each other and as he passed me he told me not to come back to work. Which was half hour after he sent me home. Can he do that?
I resigned from my full-time permanent employment with one employer for a better opportunity at another organization on a 1 year contract. I was told I have a 6 month probation period. Two months into the contract and they tell me they have to terminate me because they no longer have the position open after project changes, and it has nothing to do with my performance. They offered me 5 weeks notice. Is this legal or am I entitled to more?
Hello, i started on with an employer in September. I was told i would be getting my own truck to drive and they put me in the truck with my boyfriend. I was told on September 20th that i would have a truck to drive in a couple weeks. That time frame passed and i was again told, in a couple weeks i would have a truck. So for this time my boyfriend and i started double shifting the truck, he goes out for 12 hours and i stay home then vice versa. After these couple weeks i was AGAIN told that it would be a couple weeks. In double shifting one truck, my boyfriend and i were pretty much making one drivers wage, we were losing out on 6000 dollars of pay a month. Then, in the third week of November 2018, the employer hired 2 new male drivers and put them in the other trucks before me! When i brought it up to the employer he told me that i was not yet cleared by his insurance company and i was not aloud to drive a truck by myself... but that is exactly what i was doing when my boyfriend and i double shifted the truck. And the employer was requesting and even as far as pushing us to double shift the truck. So i was in it all alone with no one else. So, being fed up with the inequality we started looking for new work. When we told the employer on the 20th of November 2018 that we needed the following day off so we could go get some paperwork in order so we could respond to a new employment opportunity we were told no.  When we said we needed to take at least half the day and we would head back out in the truck after we were done, the employer told my boyfriend that we could pack our stuff and get out, as we were staying at the employers house. After terminating us the employer then took over 72 hours to issue our final pay and did not tell the lady who does the pay. I had to tell her that we were terminated when i called to find out the status of our final pay. This whole situation made me feel very discriminated agaisnt as a metis female driver who takes great pride in the skills i have acquired as a professional driver.
My employer has a 6 month probation period. For the last 6 months everything seemed to be going well. My 6 months is up on Monday. I told them that I was pregnant and planned on taking leave in Feburary. This morning they terminated me and said that they didn't have to give a reason. What are my rights? Do I have any?
I have been only with the company for a couple of months, I called in said I was sick. HR called me back I told her that I was trying to get a hold of my Doctor that I would call her back after I talk to my doctor. I called them back left a message saying that I will be off that I don't see my doctor till Wednesday and that I will call them after I see the doctor. The next day I received an email from her saying she was having a hard time hearing my message yesterday. Are you able to let me know what is happening? I emailed her back saying I am off because of an illness, I see my doctor on Wednesday the 28, after i see her I will call you, or i can email you if that works better for you. Later that day I received an email saying how I am not a fit. and attached is a letter of termination. I am not sure what my next steps are.
