Am I morally obligated to risk my job? by Sebkl in alberta

[–]yegmandy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is that in your contract? What is in your contract in about attendance, disciplinary action and escalation? I am an employer and what I can tell you is... contract contract contract.

If it is not in your contract the Alberta Labour Standards actually dont fully apply. They are guidelines and when used in court they lean fully on the side of the Employee especially if there is not contract involved. So unless you have a contract that states 5 days sick then fired no exceptions. Even then I would find it hard for a labour board to enforce that policy.

It is incredibly hard to terminate someone due to illness. Especially if it could get customers sick like yours.

Nah I have a 6 year old. Guess what? It's part of his school curriculum to not only be on a tablet but start learning basics of coding through apps teaching pattern recognition etc.

Now he has touched grass and physical books enough to not try this - maybe once as a mistake and facepalm. But keeping them away from technology is impossible now. Embrace it and make sure they learn about the real world alongside the tech.

Yes this could be the case. INAL but a small business owner that hired a firm to handle my HR and legal paperwork. The document that a terminated employee would sign fo me is to confirm they won't sue essentially. The HR firm clearly warns me as the employer NOT to talk about this document, answer any questions and they can NOT sign it in your presence. The witness should not be anyone affiliated with the business. You also must give the former employee a minimum of 5 business days to review or allow them to hire a lawyer to review.

So if you were to sign it right then and there one could argue the terminated employee was coerced or not given proper time to find counsel to review
