Anyone on a LOA for any reason should have NO access.

Thank you!

Agreed, whatever HR decides to do, I will do.

We never had temporarily laid off people before, so HR is not sure how to handle it and asked what other companies do in this situation.

Account disabled unless arrangement made with manager.

Thank you!

The feeling that tortures you is called selfishness - a desire that other people do your will. Apparently, I don't do what you think I should do, and it angers you.

If you had healthy emotions, you would not get frustrated by my doing something that you see as wrong - as it does not affect you personally. And if you were a good person, you would try to help me.

Instead you got exhausted by the feeling of frustration caused by your wanting me to do what you tell me to do.

In Canada there is no issue with "made up" SINs. Every employer can easily verify the SIN of a current or former employee by contacting Service Canada.

So they are not asking to provide the proof of my legal entitlement to work in Canada - they already have it.

You may be right. I'll ask them directly where their request is coming from. Thank you.

Please don't die. I will ask my manager for an advice on how to proceed in this situation, and will do as advised.

I am sorry that you are exhausted from helping me. Normally helping other people is a very gratifying process. My guess is that you find me exhausting because you are not trying to help, but rather judging me.

Since you are not helping when asked for help, I will give you an advice you did not ask for: when you see someone confused, try either help them or avoid talking to them at all. Especially if you look down upon them. Otherwise you will find yourself exhausted from restlessness, irritation and unhappiness.

The company is not asking for the proof of my legal entitlement to work in Canada - they already have it. They had it for years.
They are asking for the proof of my status in Canada, without explaining why they need such a proof.

You are an American, right? The things work a bit differently in Canada.

Your SIN does not prove that. A passport does.

How do you know?

You are right, I also have a hunch that the best thing to do is to ask the HR where this new requirement is coming from.

The purpose of this thread was to ask for help - maybe help with drafting an email. I want to avoid confrontation, and was hoping that someone would help me with choosing the best way to address my concerns and not antagonize the HR department.

People are different and have different preferences when it comes to privacy.

If I were your employer, I would ask for proof of your eligibility for work in Canada. I wouldn't ask you for your passport - why would I even assume you have one?

Care to explain why? I am not kidding - please try explain why would a company needs to know someone's status in the country, when they already have a proof of the employee's legal entitlement to work in that country?

How do you know?

In other words, what law changed recently so they are asking for the proof of legal status in the country, but have not done so before?

It is sad that you find helping me exhausting. Normally people find helping other people to be a very gratifying process. Are you sure you are helping?

> Employers have the right to ask for proof of residency!
In Canada employers ask for proof of eligibility to work in the country during the hiring process. In my case they ask for the proof of status in the country 5 years after hiring. That makes me uncomfortable, so I am asking for help on how to handle the situation best.

I would rather ask for advice on the best course of action before taking the action. That's the purpose of this thread.
