My son was hired by a company that has a booth at the CNE food building , he was there from 1to 10pm but he felt dizzy and had headache , he was told to sit down and relax a bit but then he got up and went back to work and finished his shift. Monday he was not well called in to let them know was told to go to doctor . Today Tuesday August 24, 2016 he got a text message stating he is not required to go in on his next shift which should have been tomorrow he was told not the CNE might not be suitable for him due to high volume and hot conditions /noisy environment. Can anything be done? Thank you
Thank you for your question. At this point it would appear that the CNE has not terminated your son's employment. If in fact your son's medical condition would prevent him from working in a high volume, noisy or hot environment, I would advise you to request that the CNE make an accommodation so that your son can continue working there. If your son is terminated, I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what he is owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com).
