1:31 LTD Cut Off is Not Resignation
Lior shares the story of a woman who was cut off long-term disability by her insurance provider, who believed that she was able to return to work.

4:36 Severance Through EI After Layoff
I was laid off after 6 years of employment. I was offered a small severance package but was told that because I had been “laid off” I could get more severance through Employment Insurance. Is that accurate?

7:12 Forced to Accept a Demotion
After working hard for over 22 years to rise through the company to a middle management position, an individual was asked to accept a demotion. He was told that a less stressful job makes sense, due to his age. If the individual does not accept the offer, his boss said that they would have reasonable grounds to terminate his employment and that there would be no severance package. Should the individual agree to be demoted?
