Add Comment Question: my boss has recently reduce my hours worked from 40 to 32 hours per week giving me Wednesdays off now I'm hearing from other employess they were told the company would close at noon on Fridays. This would further reduce my hours to 28 per week. I don't think I can survive on this reduction in income. Yesterday at the end of the day the owner informed me that they would be letting me go in August unless things change with the company, also the company is relocating next year from Mississauga to Oakville. Since he is giving me this notice of being layed off does that mean he does not have to pay me severence pay also Iwill have been with the company 6years 11 months come August. Answer: You need to put it in writing that you do not agree with the reduction in hours otherwise your termination entitlements will be based on the reduced pay. Call me at 416-216-5906 to discuss your options given the changes at the company.
