https://www.thestar.com//jail-sentence-for-boss-who-owed-w The above story is sadly, all too real for many employees who are not paid. As an employment lawyer, I have seen that all too often the most vulnerable parts of our society - young people, students, immigrants, etc. - are the ones who feel the brunt of this injustice. And the worst part is that justice is almost completely unattainable for those who are not paid - usually due to the bureaucracy of the Ministry of Labour or the inhibiting legal costs of taking action. The penalties need to be increased-now. While most employers do not engage in this type of practice, those that do should face significant penalties. No matter how you slice it, employees deserve to be paid for their work. Whats fair is fair!

Businesses and employees should brace themselves for what are being considered as possible "sweeping changes" to rules that currently govern workplaces in Ontario. If you are an employer, coming up short of new rules can certainly land you in hot water. As an employee, you should learn about any new rule that can affect your day-to-day at work.

Reasonable Accommodation Employers have a duty to accommodate their employees to a point of "undue hardship". What does that mean? It is hard to tell. The concept of "undue hardship" has not been defined by the court or any tribunal in Canada. What we do know is that it means some hardship, or challenge is acceptable for an employer when they consider accommodating their employees. How does that affect you as an employee or a business owner? Simple. An employee who needs tim...e to pray (religious accommodation), has to leave early to pick up their children (familial accommodation) or cannot sit for long periods (disability accommodation) must be accommodated by their employer. If that accommodation is refused, that is discrimination - plain and simple. If an employee complains about being refused accommodation and is subsequently punished, that is worse - way worse. So what? Employers are liable for damages in those circumstances - and claims at the human rights tribunal can be costly. The best thing to do is for employers and employees to keep the lines of communication open so that everyone stays on the job rather than a courtroom.

Employers beware! One of the biggest challenges employers face today is dealing with workers who say they are too sick to work. Often employers simply accept the most basic medical letters to support a workers absence when they are entitled to more information. Other times employers are too aggressive in their attempts to get sick workers back and end up defending a human rights complaint or a wrongful dismissal suit. ... Dealing with workers who are on a sick leave requires a careful legal strategy from a firm that specializes in employment law. Especially today when mental illness is so common, if you find your company is dealing with a sick worker, DO NOT try and resolve with this matter on your own. Camenzuli Workplace Law will work with you to get your worker back to full productivity and keep you out of the courtroom.

Fired or "laid off"? DO NOT accept the severance package your former employer offers you or sign anything without consulting with a lawyer first. Sometimes employers can be very pushy; they may even give you a deadline. In most cases, the money being offered is required by law which means your employer has to give it to you NO MATTER WHAT. If they are pushing you to accept their first package it is because you are entitled to much more money. At Camenzuli Workplace Law we f...ight to get you the money you deserve and we dont get paid until you do! Contact us to learn more or check us out on the web at www.dcworkplacelaw.ca.
