PET OF THE WEEK

King Ralph Check out my regal face and macho cheeks! Am I not the cutest? I have great facial expressions, too; you will find yourself smiling at my goofy looks! So here’s a little about me: I love been petted on my head, especially on my cheeks. Can I have a good scratch, please? Ah yes, very nice! I also enjoy leaning against you. No need to hold me, in fact, I prefer to be free to move around, but if you’ll let me lean against you we will have a lovely time. Oh, and I think I’d like to share my home with older kids or adults; I prefer more predictability in my life, and humans who understand that I don’t care for having my back end petted much. I know, I know. I probably sound kind of demanding.

But I am a king, after all! Don’t I deserve the royal treatment? I think you’ll really enjoy having this sweet boy in your life. Please, won’t you take me home with you?

Reference Number: A22620460 Name: King Ralph

Included in the adoption fee: - Spay/Neuter surgery - Microchipping - First set of vaccines - Complimentary post-adoption vet exam - And so much more!

Age: 5 years Sex: Neutered Male Species: Dog Breed: Domestic Shorthair Color: Orange & White Tabby

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I was recently let go and my former employer is refusing to pay me severance pay. He paid me for the time I worked, but that’s it. I’m now unemployed and having a hard time paying my bills. I could really use that money to help carry me until a find a new job. How can I force him to pay?

Signed, Shorted Dear Shorted: Most employers in Alberta are required to give termination notice, or pay in lieu of notice, when they terminate their staff.

©iStockphoto.com/4774344sean

Do you have a work-related question?

Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.

Common exceptions to this rule include: • Termination is for just cause; • Have worked for less than three months; • Were employed for a defined term or task; • Refuse reasonable alternate work; • Seasonal employees; • Employed in the construction industry.

The rules can also differ for employees of federally regulated businesses, e.g., banks, national transportation companies, broadcasters, etc. A list of these industries is available at: www.labour.gc.ca/eng/regulated.shtml.

If you have worked for between three months and two years of service, you are entitled to a minimum of one week of notice. The amount of notice increases with the amount of time that you have worked for the employer. For the complete list of minimum notice periods and exceptions to the requirement for termination notice, visit http://work.alberta.ca/es.

It sounds like you had some bad luck, because the vast majority of employers in Alberta treat their employees fairly.

Only around one per cent of Alberta employers have Employment Standards judgements against them. Alberta Employment Standards has set up an easy step-by-step guide for how to get any monies owed to you. Just click on http://work.alberta.ca/es and click Submit a Complaint.

The automated system can help you generate a Request for Payment Letter to send directly to your former employer. If that doesn’t work, you can file a formal complaint with Alberta Employment Standards. Don’t wait too long, because you only have six months to submit a complaint after you have been terminated.

If you have any questions or concerns, call Alberta Employment Standards Contact Centre toll-free at 1-877-427-3731.

As I mentioned earlier, most employers are ethical, but if you want to know which employers are not living up to their obligations, visit http://work.alberta.ca/esjudgments and search for any employers that you are considering working for before you accept the job offer.

The Alberta Government makes it easy for employers to learn about their rights and responsibilities under Alberta’s Employment Standards legislation.

The following resources are available at http://work.alberta.ca/es under the Education & Promotion tab.

• Tool Kit for Employers • Education Programs for Employers • Video Basics – quick videos based on the Tool Kit Good luck with your job search and getting your termination pay.
