My name is Maurice.
I am a very friendly, outgoing, and inquisitive guy who adores being around people. I enjoy soaking up affection from my human companions, and will lay right down to lavish in the treatment. I LOVE to eat and just can’t get enough lettuce, kale, parsley and raspberries. I'm not picky though; if you have food, you have my heart! I am fairly tidy in my cage and regularly use my litter box to do my business. I like to chew, so make sure I have plenty of enrichment items to occupy my time such as wood chews, paper towel rolls and toys. I adore kids and love to sit with them and be around them as long as they are gentle with me. I really am a sweet boy and I would love to find my perfect forever home! I promise to shower you in bunny kisses and lots of snuggles. I am available for adoption now, I am not on the adoption floor because of an allergy-like condition; if you are interested in meeting me please contact the folks at the front desk and they will arrange a visit. My foster mom adores me, but wants me to meet you!

Bandit
Reference Number: 31910167
You might think from my name that I'm a bit of a cat burglar, but the only thing I'm going to steal is your heart! I am a big furry ball of love. I just want to hang out with you, kneading on your belly or perching half-on-half off your lap. Are you ready for that? I'm a big boy, and that means I'll probably be spilling over on your lap a wee bit! Maybe you can help me with that by getting me on a good diet and exercise program. I'm kinda lazy, but with some fun string toys and interactive play time, I bet I'll start dropping the pounds! I confess I'm a sensitive boy, and I can sometimes feel overwhelmed by changes in my life. But if you're patient and give me time to adjust, I'm sure I'll be exploring my new digs and feeling confident in no time! I cannot wait to start my new life. I know my purrfect humans are searching for me right now! Bandit is part of our Adopt From Foster Program. Please call 403-205-4455 for more information and to set up a visit.

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: 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.

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.
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 work.alberta.ca/es. Alberta Employment Standards has set up an easy step-by-step guide for how to get any monies owed to you. Just click on 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. Most employers in Alberta are required to give termination notice, or pay in lieu of notice, when they terminate their staff. Common exceptions to this rule include when the employee: • Was terminated for just cause; • Worked for less than three months; • Was employed for a defined term or task; • Refused reasonable alternate work; • Was hired as a seasonal worker; • Was 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. As I mentioned earlier, most employers are ethical, but if you want to know which employers are not living up to their obligations, visit 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 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 For help with your job search, visit your local Alberta Works Centre: humanservices.alberta.ca/offices. Good luck!
