► 4:04 A caller from http://www.employmenthour.com: My wife is a project coordinator at a software company. She is about to return from maternity leave.

► 6:35 A caller from http://www.employmenthour.com: My friend works on salary plus commission in a sales role. The company told employees that they will no longer earn overtime pay beyond 40 hours a week. Does that sound right? Lior discusses overtime pay for salaried employees.

► 19:05 A caller from http://www.EmploymentHour.com: I hurt myself at work, and filed a WSIB claim. Now, after 8 years with no issues, my boss has issued 3 written warnings. I think they’re trying to kick me out. Do you have any advice? Can I be let go after three written warnings

If I don’t meet targets within 6 months, they will consider letting me go. After 6 years of hard work, I don’t think this is fair at all.

► 26:56 http://www.terminationquestions.com: I was cut off Long-Term Disability by the insurance company because they deemed that I am well enough to return to work, despite no medical evidence. Now my boss will fire me if I don’t return to work. Would I be owed termination pay?
