I am wondering if I have grounds to leave with current position and receive severance. My boss has been harassing me for the last 3 months. He is constantly telling me what a terrible job I am doing and says he is going to fire me in front of fellow employees. He is constantly sending text using foul language. And with in the last week has written me up numerous times for things out of my control. He tells if I don't ssign I will be fired. I haven't had a write up in 5 years and at this rate I will be out of work by the end of the week

Can I sue my employer for wrongful dismissal? They put me on a 6 week working notice, but I left after 3 weeks because it became humiliating for me to stay. I was working there for 3 years and 11 months as an Assistant HR & Marketing Manager, without pay increase yet more job responsibilities and free overtime. Thanks.

1) The Ontario Ministry of Labour web site states that to qualify for severance pay the employee has to work for the employer for five years or more. Is it true? 2) And it states that severance pay is one week wage per one year of employment. Is it true? Many thanks

what steps can i persue if my employer has fired me for theft which i did not do. he will not show me any proof that i did it. says he does not have to.

A friend of mine received notice of termination but was not offered severance, so I advised her to contact Lior for assistance, however she had two main objections to doing this, which I'm hoping you can help me with. Her first objection was that the company apparently isn't obligated to pay her severance since the payroll in Ontario is less than $2.5 Mn/yr, to which I replied based on having listened to The Employment Hour that this may not be relevant at all. However, I did not know how to respond to her second objection, which is that she doesn't want to leave the company on bad terms and she needs the references for future employment. I would appreciate any help you can give to help enable me to better respond to her concerns, as I would hate for her to lose the severance she's entitled to.
