0:00 - Intro

1:35 Non-Compete Clause No-no
An employee was let go/terminated after working at a company for around 12 years in a senior position. He was offered 12 months' pay as a severance package. His employment agreement contained a non-compete clause that stated he could not work within the industry for 18 months. The math didn't add up. Lior Samfiru explains how to react to a non-compete clause.

3:43 Sales Rep Terminated Without Severance
My friend worked in sales for 8 years. She had to provide her employer with her availability, and didn't work for anybody else. She was just let go, but was not provided with severance pay. Is she entitled to severance? Lior Samfiru explains why she is owed severance pay, even though she was being called an Independent Contractor by her employer.

6:35 Reaction When Work Hours Reduced
My mother was hired on as a full-time employee. Her employer just reduced her down to 4 hours a day. HR said they had to do it because they lost some business. What are her rights when her hours a reduced? Lior explains what to do when faced with Constructive Dismissal.

17:32 Severance Pay Calculator
Why over 500,000 people have used it to discover their rights.

18:55 Payrolls Under $2.5M & Severance
Henry spent 10 years in a professional job with his current employer. Earlier this year, he was let go due to "economic pressures in Canada." His employer told him that, because the company has a payroll less than $2.5 million, the law states that he is not owed any severance pay whatsoever. Is that true? Lior Samfiru busts a popular myth.

20:35 Are Probation Periods Mandated?
Is there a law that mandates a 3 month probation period for new employees, in which they can be let go without notice?

23:05 Good Employees and Wrongful Dismissal
I was packaged out after my department was shut down. I was the only manager let go, despite the fact that I was a good performer. Was I wrongfully dismissed?

25:20 Layoff with No Return Date
I work at a software company that just put 10 of us on temporary layoff after we wrapped up a major project. We have no return date, and there's nothing in our contracts that talks about temporary layoffs. Are they legally allowed to do that, if they continue to pay our benefits?
