I worked for a company for 9-10 years. Recently they closed the place I was working but they offered me another job full time within the company. I was expecting severance pay but with the offer I couldn't. The new job offered was 11 days after the place closed down and I realized that the job was not comparable due to being given part time hours rather than full time hours as initially offered. I feel they are avoiding to pay my severance and forcing me to quit. What are my rights? I do not know if I have a case to proceed

If you have an accident in a work vehicle and it was your fault, and as a result you were fired, is it a waste of time to pursue a wrongful dismissal? No issues in the past 3 years of employment.

I have been employed with a Audio Visual & communications company for almost 4 years. Recently Work has slowed and I have been asked to reduce my hours even though others who were hired after me were not asked to do so as of yet. I believe that I am in risk of losing my job altogether. Is an employer in Ontario expected to adhere to "seniority" when deciding whom to lay off and who will continue to work? I should mention that 2 other employees are related ( 1 as brother and 1 as brother-in-law) to senior staff and they both have been employed after me, neither have been advised of reduced hours due to work shortage to my knowledge. Also, during my meeting with the manager who asked me to go home because of work shortage, he mentioned that i should be looking for alternate means of employment. I am a diabetic in my fifties making me the oldest technician on staff and I believe that this might have weight in their decision but have no way of proving this supposed discrimination. what are my options?

I would like to ask a question but would prefer it not be posted in fear that my company see this and terminate me. Can I still do this?
