I have been off on sick leave for the past 4 months. I have been cleared to return to wok but my position has been filled. I am anxious to return but worried about the kind of work they may have me do. What are my options when it comes to accepting a new position or new salary and do I even have any. Do I have to accept whatever they give me? If they choose to terminate me, how do I figure out what I am entitled to with severance?

I have been terminated...we have company policy that if we don't meet a requirement that they will give a written earning and provide additional training...they did not do this...is this wrongful dismissal

If i was lured away from my job of 18 years for a sales position and now after 3-4 months of work we are slow and they are thinking of letting me go, what are my options?

I vented nicely to 2other depth. Employees by an email, it was regarding the direction taken in not hiring new but 'reshuffling the deck' in human resources. Ournhealth is suffering over not hiring to meet demands placed on us, significant overtime and a Only 70hrs. Per week. They did not respond, one of them forwarded the email, which asked for their confidentiality, to the manager... whom subsequently wrote me up, and asked me to sign a performance letter to stop. I feel as though I am one move short of being fired now, there is no union. Please help, I need to either ask for the letter to disappear in time, or ask them what policy I broke in venting to two employees by email, who broke confidentiality.

How much do you charge for your services, out of the severance ? Is it a percentage ? Is there any upfront fee(s) ? Is the consultation truly free ? Can you walk me through the process once a severance is won ? Thank
