Your fiancé’s situations sounds quite complicated. You mentioned the employer failing to pay properly and failing to give vacation time and that he is also currently on disability as well.
Employees in Ontario have certain entitlements under the Employment Standards Act. If an employer is not following those standards, an employee can make a complaint to the Ministry of Labour or seek the assistance of a lawyer to enforce their rights.
Be advised that at this point we would need much more information before giving your fiancé advice on how to proceed. If he would like to schedule a consultation he can contact at the number below.
