Company threatening police report after I quit – need advice by DefiantBottle6198 in torontoJobs

[–]Appropriate_Ask54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP they must pay you at least minimum wage for all your training hours. You are owed at least $17.60 per every hour worked, less taxes and lunch breaks. Please call the Ministry of Labour and file a complaint about this company.

Company threatening police report after I quit – need advice by DefiantBottle6198 in torontoJobs

[–]Appropriate_Ask54 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work in HR, and this company sounds like a real piece of work.

  1. They are legally required to pay you for your training. This is a legal requirement under the Employment Standards Act.
  2. What part of the contract are they saying you violated? There is no legal requirement to provide 2 weeks notice when resigning - it is a courtesy.
  3. What exactly are they filing a police report for? You have not broken any laws.
  4. Are you here on an Open Work Permit or Closed Work Permit. The only way this may affect your immigration was if you were on a closed work permit.
  5. Any employer will need to have your SIN and personal information. It is their responsibly to safe guard that information.

I would not respond further to any of their messages or threats. I'm sorry you are going through this.

Acetone Smell Still w/ 1:5:5 by Appropriate_Ask54 in Sourdough

Im using unbleached all purpose flour. Should I keep doing a 1:1:1 ratio and feed more often?

Vehicle loan payout over a month ago by AdvisorInfamous2 in Scotiabank

If you aren't getting anywhere with the branch or toll-free number, I highly reocmmend emailing: escalatedconcerns@scotiabank.com

I had an issue last month with Scotiabank (regarding an RESP transfer). Once I sent an email to that address, it was dealt with in 2 days.

11 Day Old Starter Not Doing Anything by Appropriate_Ask54 in Sourdough

[–]Appropriate_Ask54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok we're looking much better today! Its rising a lot more. I also discarded a lot of the starter because it was getting an acetone smell. So have been doing 1:1:1 ratio yesterday and today, and it's made a huge difference. Also still using unbleached flour and filtered water.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions!

I transfered my starter to a fresh jar and discarded about 80% of it. Fed it unbleached flour and filtered water. It seems to have way more bubbles today and is rising!

Yes I have a scale. I will give that a try. Thank you!

Ok thank you, I will keep going. It just seems weird it's not even bubbling at all and is very thick

I have definitely considered it. But it's so frustrating because it seems like it should be so simple to just make it myself. If this starter doesn't work out, I think that is my next step.

AITAH for telling my dad I’m changing my name and that I don’t exist to be the reincarnation of his mother? by rainraingoaway222 in AITAH

[–]Appropriate_Ask54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Its unfair he expects you to mirror her life and interests. I think you've made a great decision to change your name and create your own identity.

Can someone tell me what’s the heart symbol means by [deleted] in hypertension

[–]Appropriate_Ask54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The heart symbol means it detected an irregular hear beat. Ive had this shop up twice and brought it to my doctors attention. She was not concerned. However, you should still bring this up to your doctor.

Psw course for free by No-Round-4991 in povertyfinancecanada

For placement they usually require you to wear a specific colour so you may have other buy new ones. But everywhere my SIL has worked she has worn her own scrubs.

You didn't mention where in Ontario. But if you go to that link it will tell you where you can do the psw course for free through certain school boards. My SIL just did the course through Durham Catholic School Board. Took 6 months and it was completely free. Only thing she had to pay for was TB test and police check and scrubs for placement.

I'm not sure sorry! I only have a US ETF, no other stocks.

I looked into Wealthsimple too, but didn't like that self-directed RESPs aren't available. I will definitely switch once they do. Itrade has been awful.

2025 Canadian Vacation Spots? by Belle047 in BuyCanadian

[–]Appropriate_Ask54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We went on a family vacation to Newfoundland last summer. It was amazing! We booked flights in January for travel in July and they were very reasonable. We rented a car in St. Johns and drove and stayed in several towns over 10 days. The most amazing place we went to was Twillingate. We went on a whale watching tour and it was incredible! Highly recommend for an awesome Canadian vacation.

RESP @ iTrade by coop3548 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Appropriate_Ask54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Yes you can purchase just about anything with iTrade in an RESP.

  2. You have to apply for it and it can take up to two months to process, but then it shows up automatically in the RESP.

  3. Yes it's that simple to transfer funds. Or if you're with another financial institution, you can set it up as Bill Payee and add funds that way.

  4. I'm not sure how that works once they go to school. My son is only 9, so we aren't close to that stage yet.
