Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
My daughter has worked at Boston pizza for two years. New owners came in and had the employees sign a contract that basically had them give up sinority and be on a 3 month probationary period. My daughter wasn't fully aware that she signed away her sinority. They terminated her within 3 days of the probationary period ending. This is obvious that the new owner was attempting to screw over my daughter and end her employment without severance. They terminated her without cause.
Hello,
In order to assess whether the contract the employer made your daughter sign mid-stream would be enforceable or not I recommend that you contact our office so schedule a consult with one of our lawyers so we can review the contract and circumstances surrounding your daughter's termination, and also assess any termination entitlements she may have. Generally employers cannot make employee's sign a contract mid-stream unless there is some form of benefit (consideration) given to the employee, such that it could be rendered enforceable.
