The employer either gives you notice or payment in lieu of notice (i.e. severance). Hope that helps. Mr. Bill- I can only tell you what Ontario law says.

They said they would not hold the position we left but would do everything they could to help us back to work for them. Vague statement yes. Now its time to go back and they've been difficult to deal with. They tell me if I dont secure a position myself, I will be terminated. Am I entitled anything?

The company has been struggling to survive for quite some time. They have been accommodating our need to find other work. Now I believe they are trying to avoid paying severance by forcing us to quit. (I have so much to do; I can't take lunch breaks and go home crying) -- To my knowledge nobody has been issued notice. We have been asked verbally to find other employment. I have been with a company in BC for eight years. The company has been struggling to survive for quite some time.

In Ontario, you are given either written notice or payment in lieu of notice. I would call your local Ministry of Labour for more information. Good luck.
