About » Employment Law Firing Together With Other Studies
Canadian (ontario) employment law question?
Can you get fired for failing to take any shifts that you WERENT scheduled for, but they called you asking if you could come in?
Am i obligated to take a certain number of those shifts?
Or can I say NO every time and not be punished?
In Ontario, an employer can terminate an employee's job for any reason provided written notice or pay in lieu of notice is given.
In other words, you can say no to additional shifts and ultimately be fired (with written notice of pay in lieu) because of it.
As a manager, I have less value in an employee that never takes additional shifts compared to one that takes the shifts and helps me (and the business) out.
It may be a good idea to have a chat with your boss to explain why you can't take additional shifts, or to narrow what days they ask you to come in ("I'm usually free on Thursdays, if you need me to cover on that day let me know")
