Add Comment Question: I have been employed as a manager of a resort with my wife the past 14 years and we work 97 per cent of hours from April till Nov 1 each year and they make the pay go all year round. My wife left and took another job at the competition this past spring and the company made the both of us resign in writing and they took me back on as manager and they hired me an office person. In the summer the competition tried to lure me away and my supervisor begged me to stay and I agreed but insisted that if anything happened in the fall that i would be paid right up till next spring and she agreed. My supervisor came into my office on Aug 28 and said I was finished as of Oct 30 2017 and the company was not going to pay me till May 2018 as pay but would pay me till that time and call it severance pay. There has been no contract signed in the 14 years I have worked for them. Should they not pay me for all the hours I have worked which i live in a little trailer at the resort from April till Nov 1 and I work 7 days a week and 100 plus hours per week and am on call 24 hours a day. I have had concussions at work and eye damage and continue to work and I have been assaulted at work because they also make me do security. My supervisors best friend was in charge of HR at the competition and called her to complain that they were taking me away from them and I have proof on that also. thank you Answer: Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. I would strongly recommend that you get in touch with me as soon as possible to discuss this in more detail. What you have described sounds like a wrongful dismissal, and you could be entitled to significant compensation. To find out how much you could be entitled to, you can use our free Severance Pay Calculator at http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/. It also sounds like you are potentially owed significant amounts for unpaid wages. These are both issues that I deal with regularly in my practice. I would be happy to have a consultation with you, which I can offer to you free of charge. If you're interested in discussing this in more detail, please email me at jon.pinkus@stlawyers.ca or give me a call at 416-216-2844.
