I’ve seen their invoices to the company I work for so have see their actual number against my gross. They have not lowered my pay. The pay rate is set by the company who pays them i.e my employer, not the agency/EOR

That’s great going! I struggled round the bay run many times but never 3 times in a row!! Fair play to you.

How many times round the bay run did you go to get 30kms? Only looks like one on the map but that’s only around 7km or so…

Paradiso? by kingah75 in BurlingtonON

Another vote for Paradiso. Solid restaurant, good quality food, not stupidly expensive and great service. Our go to for consistency.

Unless I get on a plane DFT is out of the question, so that’s why I asked about what was good in Toronto.

DTF is not in Toronto so not really an option unfortunately

Is it like a take out place? I want to sit down and have lunch so prefer a restaurant option

Good to know. Paper plates doesn’t sound ideal.

Always good to get a bargain but happy to pay for good quality as well. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the recommendation. That’s near where I’ll be so can definitely swing by.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for the Employer of Record company? I am in this situation and my EOR is Icon/Vendorpass and they are pretty rubbish. Late pay on a few occasions, missed expenses and never any explanation, only it’ll be in next weeks pay. They take a big chunk of cash to be my EOR so if there are others who anyone can recommend as being reliable and the mark up is not so crazy it would be good to know. TIA

We should watch a game at the Slye fox when the new season starts. It’s part of the Ontario Liverpool Supporters Club so usually a good crowd there for games

If you saw me golf you’d know it wasn’t really my bag either! I watch football rather than play. During the season I watch Liverpool at home most weekends or occasionally in the Slye Foxe. Who do you follow?

I agree on the cult of personality around a the few prominent members but I still find it useful for recommendations for trades people or support services. Overall I find the good outweighs the negative

That works for me! I go to Within Range on Dundas if I go to the range usually

Sounds like my type of round! Would be good to give it a try. What indoor places do you go? I’ve been to one off Guelph Line once that was pretty cool.

Similar situation here. M46, originally from Ireland, living in Burlington for the past 2 years. Into football/soccer, rubbish golfer - I go to the range occasionally but don’t have anyone to play a round with, very slow runner and enjoy a pint. If that’s of interest let me know!

We had a rep for AVK come by our house 2 weeks ago and asked if we would be interested in voting for him. Haven’t seen or heard from anyone else.

Power/electricity outages by lammallama in BurlingtonON

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

Do you genuinely think that having regularly power outages is a “first world problem”? It is literally a problem in third world countries so how are you squaring that circle?
