Law & Legal

I mean the people that work for private employers are the only ones that should be worried about being laid off or terminated, I have no worries cause I work for the government, right?

I believe I am about to be asked to work with a disruptive troublemaker on an important project. This individual has regularly threatened supervisors but has been somewhat protected by the manager. I think by failing to take the proper actions years ago he has now dug himself a hole and it is more difficult to get rid of her.
He says he will "read her the riot act" prior to any new activities. But past experience has shown that ultimately the individual she upset and/or threatened with labour or legal action, is asked to find a way to make it work and warned to not lose their cool.
My concern is by being forced to work with her I may be putting myself in a vulnerable position and risk losing my cool.
Can I refuse claiming it is "unsafe work" because my health and welfare is at risk because she has a record of bullying and threats with no substansive discipline?
I live in Canada.

My friend was fired today because of a blog she posted on MySpace. Within the blog she complained of the treatment she was receiving from our boss--okay, she also called her a few names... Our administrators contacted their lawyers and was told that they could legally fire her. My question is, where does Freedom of Speech play in this?

What if you don't want to strike and you are not going to be able to pay your bills? What can the union do to you if you go to work? You have to join the union in order to work, there is no choice. Is there any option?

I was hired for a new restaurant, I filled out the W2, signed papers, all that stuff and was told they would call me soon to tell me my training schedule. Well, they have not called and I have been leaving messages for the manager to please call me and let me know whats going on.
Dont employers have a responsibility to let you know if you have the job or not? I mean I didnt go out and look for a job because I didnt need it, I need to start working and I'm sick of sitting around waiting.

I have been asked to sign a contination of employment contract as a while ago my employer got bought out. In signing this contract, I have noticed that there is a line as such: Your normal working hours are 8 to 6 which equates to 9 hours per week (excluding lunch break). Your lunch brake is 1 hour per day.
Does this mean that I am now legally entitled to work for just 1 day per week to get my full annual salary?
I am truly intruiged by the legal implications fo this!
PS - I also get 23 days holiday per year, so does this mean I now can work for just 29 days/weeks per year!!??

My supervisor quit about one month ago, two weeks after she quit about 6 of us got together and went out for drink with her…we did not discus any work related information, we were just catching up on our personal lives. About two weeks later the person who took her place confronted one of us telling that person that we had signed a confidentiality agreement with the company (we did) and that the company was planning on seeking legal action on all six of us for going out after working ours with a former coworker. Is this possible…can they tell us what to do after 5pm?

Late December of 2005, I was living in Maine and I had become engaged to my now husband who was living in South Carolina. My daughter was 2 years old and her father had rarely been invovled in her life. He lived in Massachusetts and for a year that I lived in Maine, only came to see our daughter once, MAYBE twice. He rarely saw her and when he did, never helped out with taking care of her. After a year of living in Maine, I moved back to Mass for 2 months, had my daughter see EI for a leg problem she has, then stopped seeing them knowing that I was moving and would take care of the situation when I got to SC and got her on TriCare. I got an apartment in Maine. I lived there for a few days and then decided to go be with my fiance in SC. So when I decided my daughter and I would move to SC, I figured I would tell her father after we moved to avoid fighting over my decision to get married. I figured he could see her just as often as he already did. I also had sole physical cusotdy.

Hi all,

I'm about to leave work and my current job pays me an annual bonus, with the term running from jan 1st to jan 1st (it's german accounting year, our parent company is german). I will be leaving around 20th december. We've made budget and technically I think I should be entitled to something.

Is there any legal requirement for them to pro rata my bonus? We normally get it pain in february once the accounts department has finalised the years totals.

Thanks in advance.
