Hi. I want to ask a few questions about how the company I am working for handles a few things.
a. We recently hired a new manager. I saw two offer letters. One for the new manager. And one for his wife. The salary for the new manager is $80000. The salary for his wife is $30000. I see the new manager come to work. I don't see his wife come to work. It is not a work that can be done from home. This has been going on for a few weeks. I am guessing that he is getting $110000 in total pay but split the salary into two to avoid tax. Is that legal?
b. My company recent terminated two of my colleagues. One of them was terminated because of his performance. He worked for more than 6 months but he did not receive any notice of termination. Should it have been one week?
c. The other was terminated because he was watching YouTube and was caught on CCTV. He worked for more than 1 year but he only received one week notice of termination. Should it have been two weeks?
d. One of my colleagues resigned from the job because one of the manager abused her verbally. She could not stand it emotionally. The owner of the company knows about the incident. But he did not do anything to the manager. My colleague resigned after that. Shouldn't the owner do something about the incident?
e. The owner sold a product to another business at a discounted price in exchange of one of their products (jewellery) for his wife. Is that indirectly using company's money for a personal gain?
f. There are CCTVs everywhere except the washrooms. There is a CCTV in the pantry where employees eat lunch. The owner uses the CCTV to catch employees talking to one another. He terminated one person for talking to another employee during working hours. Is that harsh and unfair?
g. The company has been running for 17 years. There is no one case of an employee going on maternity leave. There was an employee who recently resigned because she was being pressured by the owner to do so. She was pregnant. Is that legal?
h. Another colleague wanted to leave 10 minutes earlier for a few days a week to get to the childcare to pick up his child on time. The management does not allow. They asked him to spend 10 minutes less during lunch.
What can I do?
Your company sure has a lot of issues.
