Separate Role compensation

[vikingxragnar]

Hi all,

My employer has me working a much more intensive role than I have signed my contract for. I’ve been in the position since July 1st, 2019. I was told it would be a “3 month trial” to see how my progress was in the role assigned to me.

I have not received a review from any management or HR and after asking repeatedly for the past 5 months, I still no answers as to when I will receive a new contract. Even though I’m being assigned the same work as I was for the, “trial”, consistently for 8 months. As an employee, what rights (if any) do I have to fight for proper compensation for my role?

The ESA has rules that employers have to follow. They tell employers what they can and can’t make you do. These include the rules about:

• The hours you work
• What the minimum wage is and how and when you get pay for overtime work
• Public holidays
• How much vacation time workers get and when you get vacation pay
• Pregnancy and parental leave
• Personal emergency leave (including sick days)
• Family medical leave, family caregiver leave, critically ill child care leave and crime-related child death or disappearance leave
• Termination pay
• Severance pay
• Filing a claim

The Ontario Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development has information about your rights and responsibilities. You can file a claim with the Ministry if you think your employer did not respect your rights. Find out more about when to file a claim.
