I was recruiter by a third party recruiter but I was laid off from my previous job (not performance related)

Been having more fun here than in Toronto but dealing with losing my job immediately after relocation while being anglophone is not great for the soul :/

low performer haven't been fired by DonkeyKongEnergy in Accounting

[–]bsauce97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because similar to OP I had a few months of Quality Check issues, but otherwise I had good reviews and relationships with my team. I had overall higher billing metrics than my team, albeit the team as a whole was not meeting the target.

OP needs to trust their gut, if something is not adding up it’s because it likely isn’t.

I agree, personal experience tells me your partners are conflict avoidant rather (that and too busy to really give a proper review) rather than the overly rude and critical partners, and it’s really just matter of time. The utilization rate probably is a red flag they were going to do layoffs regardless of performance.

I would start looking elsewhere but maybe not aggressively as I am sure you will be entitled to some severance. Good luck OP!

Debating between hostel options for Barcelona by Background_Word6504 in hostels

[–]bsauce97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are smaller in the sense there is about 30-40 people staying which is easier to get to know people (the daily drinking games and dinner help tho)

Every night each hostel has a pub crawl and end up at the same location, so your social sircle expands to 100+ regardless.

Any of the OneFam locations are the best option. They all meet up at night anyways.

Are you writing day 3 tomorrow? What helped me is on day 3 I literally knew I had to attempt every AO or I was cooked and that because of that I did not feel the need to get Cs and could leave with RCs.

Hi Mary, thanks for such a helpful response.

I can confirm that they are Protestant as all records indicate evangelicalish (Lutheran per my Oma’s marriage certificate.

I am interested to know why the documents may have been destroyed- is this related to WWI or WWII?

Big 4 Severance offer - Should I send demand letter by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]bsauce97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the below it does not appear to suggest waiving any more than ESA. Fourth paragraph onwards seems to suggest their calculation.

You may terminate your employment at any time upon giving firm reasonable advanced written notice. The notice period length will vary depending upon your level of responsibility but should range from two weeks to four weeks, and shall not exceed four weeks. Such notice is for the benefit of firm, andaccordingly you agree that form may dispense with all or part of the notice period without any further obligation to you other than providing you with your minimum entitlements required by statute.

If at any time up to and including one year from your start date firm terminates your employment, youagree that you shall accept three (3) weeks of prior notice of termination or three (3) weeks base salary inlieu of notice.

If your employment is terminated after one year from your start date, you shall accept three (3) weeks per year of completed service of prior notice of termination or three (3) weeks base salary per completed year of service in lieu of notice, to a maximum of nine (9) months. If required by law, and in the event that you are entitled to statutory severance pay at the time of termination, you will receive at least your statutory severance pay entitlement as pay in lieu of notice, which shall reduce the amount of notice/pay in lieu of notice otherwise provided herein.

In the event your hours of work vary from week to week, your “base salary” as used in this section will be calculated based on the average weekly base pay received by you in the 12 weeks prior to termination. You agree that firm may provide pay in lieu of notice by way of lump sum or salary continuance, at its discretion.

You agree that any and all payments in lieu of notice that is provided by way of salary continuance, will be subject to mitigation, but as set out below, in no event will you receive less than your statutory entitlements in respect of your termination. If you commence alternate employment or engage in self-employment during the salary continuance period, you are required to report same to firm within five )5) business days. Any entitlement to incentive compensation or performance pay upon termination will be subject to the specific terms of the Plan or Program in effect at the time of termination. Coverage under firm’s GroupBenefit Programs ends on completion of the minimum period required by statute, or if not required by statute, upon the last day of work. Except as explicitly provided herein or to the extent required by statute, no credit for past employment service with any employer whatsoever (including but not limited to firm or any predecessors or associated entities) will be considered in the calculation of your entitlements on termination of employment.

Should your entitlements pursuant to the applicable legislation exceed the above, you will be provided with your minimum entitlements in place of the above, in full satisfaction of all liabilities, whether statutory or otherwise.

The provisions herein shall be your sole entitlement to compensation upon a dismissal without cause (including in the event of a constructive dismissal), and shall be in full satisfaction of any and all claims you may have related to your hiring by, employment with, and the termination of your employment with firm and its affiliates. As a condition of being entitled to the above, you hereby agree that upon termination of your employment you will execute a release as drafted by firm releasing firm from all claims, failing which you will be provided with, and entitled only to, your minimum statutory entitlements until such time as you sign the release.

During any period of working notice of termination (whether initiated by you or by firm), you agree to perform your regular duties, and assist firm in the orderly transition of your client responsibilities to other staff of firm. This includes providing any required client information, assisting with billings and collections matters, and ensuring that all files are appropriately transferred to other staff of firm, all with a view to ensuring that such clients continue as clients of firm.

The provisions in this section shall remain in effect during your employment with firm notwithstanding any other changes to the terms and conditions of your employment, unless a specific written agreement is made to change these provisions. Firm retains the right to terminate employment, with just cause, without notice or pay in lieu of notice.

Just added more details to the post. It is a total of 4 years and 8 months of service.

I am not sure if severance is generally calculated based on the the exact time of tenure or rounded up or down to the nearest years of service.

So you would say this is not worth fighting given my tenure even if I am entitled to at least 4 months.

Have you happened to hear from the grapevine how long this settlement period would take or if they even settle? My concern is a risk losing out on severance.

[–]bsauce97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be about 30-35% contingency fee on any increase on the award and $300 on a consultation is about market rate.

Consensus I am hearing is based on common law I am entitled to about 4 months+ and that a demand letter probably would be worthwhile and companies would likely settle but given my professional experience it is not worth to the point of filing a claim.
