0:00 - Intro

► 1:18 I developed chronic back pain while working as a truck driver. My doctor says I need to drive less. When I asked my employer for accommodation with short haul routes, they told me that I had quit. Am I owed severance pay, or am I an independent contractor?
• Lior explains the difference between a contractor and employee ([ Ссылка ])

► 5:26 A caller from [ Ссылка ] - I was hired by a company as an independent contractor for 5 years. I was then made a full-time employee for 6 years. The business is being sold. My severance package is only based on my 6 years as an employee. Should my severance be based on my full 11 years of employment?
• More on severance pay and how it's calculated ([ Ссылка ])

► 7:46 [ Ссылка ] - I was lured away from my job of 18 years for a sales position with a new employer. After 3 months of work, the business has slowed down, and my new employer is thinking of letting me go. What are my options?

► 17:11 [ Ссылка ] example - 53-year-old Hamid was let go after working in a technical role for 6 years and was given a cheque for 2 weeks’ severance pay. Hamid’s employer said he wasn’t entitled to anything else, as per his employment contract. But Hamid doesn’t recall ever signing one, and his employer now refuses to provide him with a copy. What should he do?

► 21:17 A caller from [ Ссылка ] - My employer wants to reduce my commission structure by more than 50%. Is this something they can do?
• More on constructive dismissal via a change in pay ([ Ссылка ])

► 25:11 A caller from [ Ссылка ] - I was let go from my sales job today. I’m 60 years old and worked there for 20 years. In terms of severance pay, they gave me about 3 months of salary continuation, which includes employee benefits. Am I owed anything more?

► 26:45 [ Ссылка ] - I had a near mental breakdown while at work last week. My boss gave me two choices on the spot: take a demotion and pay cut or lose my job. I chose the second option. My employer is aware of my mental health challenges, but instead of trying to help me, they pushed me out the door without severance.
