Tell the truth and then tell them to prove you did something wrong if they want to fire you.  If they do fire you, then you can take them to court as you did nothing wrong.

well, i was going to say that the best way to resolve verbal abuse is by taking it up with the abuser's supervisor - in the case of a bank, a call to the HR unit at the corporate office would be a good idea.\n\nhowever if your neice has already been fired, there is not much that you can really do.  according to this link:\nhttp://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/psychosocial/violence.html\nthe law on workplace abuse varies from province to province.   in ontario the law that governs this is Bill 70 2001, which amends the occupational health and safety act:\nhttp://www.ontla.on.ca/documents/Bills/37_Parliament/Session2/b070_e.htm\n\nif this act has been violated, you would need to report it to the ministry of labour in ontario:\nhttp://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/about/reg_offices.html\n\nalso, here are some resources about workplace abuse in canada:\nhttp://www.bullyonline.org/workbully/canada.htm\n\ncheers

Sue. Get a lawyer, see what he thinks. Negotiate with your employers for an out of court settlement, perhaps.\n\nDon't forget, you could have long term back problems from this.

I would report it to the Human Resources department myself, if you thought it was a real threat to your boss. She was probably just blowing off, I think.. But maybe..

Start looking for a new job now.\n\nAlso start documenting everything.  If you have any specific evidence, preserve it, and keep a copy.  If not, just write it down with specific dates.  \n\nSpeak with an attorney.  I'm not saying you need to sue, but you should know your rights.  If you're too poor to afford your own attorney, there are usually places you can get free legal aid or legal advice.  You can usually get numbers with a Yahoo or Google search, or Yahoo Yellow Pages.  Or through a community center.  \n\nKnow who your friends are.  Don't make a big issue of it, but try to get an idea of whether there are people over your supervisors who might be on your side, or coworkers who might speak up on your behalf if you need them to.\n\nBe as polite as you think you can to everyone involved, including the people who are hassling you--but don't let yourself be walked on.  \n\nAnd when you think you've been wronged, get a second opinion from a friend whose opinion you trust (someone outside the workplace, so it won't get back to you).  \n\nGood luck!

It's time for you to go over your immediate bosses head to upper management.  Before you do, I would document and entire weeks worth of instances along with date, place and time the harassment takes place.  I really feel for you and I hope your situation improves soon - God bless!

They are legally required to provide you with a safe work place take the records that you have from the injury call the equivilant to your labour relations board or workers compenstation board (you might just find out they have a huge file on the company already).  If they try to fire you from your job even better with a lawyer you can take them to court for the lack of a safe work enviroment and then for lost wages and future lost wages.  If they arent going to look out for your safety without the threat of legal action do you really want to keep working for them anyway?

When you injure yourself in any way.It is advisable to discus the situation with your doctor and employer.If you had a work related injury the company would'nt want you to aggravate that injury and would generally put you to work(light duties)out of harms way.Now a non related injury(work)is a difficult situation for the employer As if you aggravate the injury,no matter what your duties are they(employer)are fully liable.So they do have the right to deny you work.In fact they can direct you to get medical clearance from thier doctor or a medical pratitioner acting on thier behalf

File sexual harassment charges, along with contacting the state labor department about him throwing your time card away to prove what you've worked. Keep track yourself...\nAlso, it is illegal for you to handle any alcoholic beverage under the age of 18. You can also notify the police about him selling the beer and how he's doing it.

You can sue him for harassment in the case when he wrote to your head-office. Even if you were in default on your loan, he had no right to write to your place of work. You can sue him for this incident. You will need to have a copy of that letter, and show the exact damage it had done to you. \n   You can not sue him for all the other incidents.

It was an ACCIDENT! Let me know where you work. I'd like to contact your boss and ask him to fire you the next time you make a mistake. You'll be gone by the end of the week! It requires intent for it to be a crime. Sorry if I went over your head there.

write your boss a letter, keep a copy.\n\nTry to imporove your behavior, too.  If you can change the things that your boss is asking you to do, then fix them.  If not, then write in your letter why you can not.\n\nEventually you will get fired, and you may want to get unemployment benefits until you get a new job.  Then you will show the judge (yes, you will go to court to fight for unemployment benefits) and you will show this letter saying that you are doing the best you can.  Good luck!

1. Even if your boyfriend did break the machine, if it was a accident, it's not his responsibility.  An employer has to take into account that loss of property can happen on a job.  The employer's insurance should cover it.\n2. If the employer has not taken legal action against your boyfriend, I would say he has no legal grounds for withholding a check.  I believe it is legal to withhold money from an employee's paycheck if they legally owe the employer money, but this is not the case. \n\nYour boyfriend should go to the Department of Labor office and let them know what is going on.  They should be able to work it out with the employer.
