I am in the middle of a separation, I started dating another man during the summer that as well is going through a divorce. Due to how soon it was after both of our relationships certain parents that knew us thought that I possibly was causing and were in the middle of an affair. Due to this a parent (or parents) complained about it to the board. I was called in and told that I had to move schools, that I could not say good bye or anything to anybody about the matter, that I can lose my job if an investigation is pursued or if the parent continues his/her complaint and was told I could not see my boyfriend again. Is this accurate? If so how is this justified ? Can somebody tell me who I can date?. Is my job in danger? Please help.

I was included in a restructuring activity within my employer and was dismissed. As part of my dismissal I was requested to work for an 11 week notice period to complete a key project. I completed the project and worked long hours and weekends to ensure it's success. Part of my package included a severance payment which I directed my employer to transfer directly into my personal RRSP account. My employer notified me that due to an RSU award in January of this year practically all of my severance payment would be withheld in tax and charged at the federal tax rate. The final payment into my RRSP account will be approx 3% of my severance payment. Is my employer entitled to withhold this amount of tax from my severance payment despite my direction to transfer this amount to my RRSP account? Also, for the final 4 months of my employment my net take-home pay was practically zero due to how my employer treated my RSU tax exposure.
