They are asking people what accommodation requests they need should they work from an office location. The problem is the communication is really poor - managers are trying to ask these questions without letting the cat out of the bag too soon or stir the pot so to speak.
I believe this is a T&O initiative. Can you believe people with no team members in the GTA area having to drive in over an hour or two - just to sit alone at a noisy office location? I would guess this will be mandatory in the Fall as May would be too soon.
There was talk of this last year when the US was doing the same but that must have changed due to the "incident" at 3600 last year. Not sure where you get "...Ontario common law generally provides one month per year of service".
That number seems far too generous even for Canadians. My guess is if you get 2.5 weeks per year service + 8 weeks notice + vacation you can count yourself lucky. Of course your age, your role and other things would come into play if this goes to arbitration or court.
Ontario law currently is 1 week per year service + 8 weeks notice up to a max of 26 weeks which is still higher than our neighbours to the south at 90 days notice + 30 days severance whether you've been with the company for 5 years or 20 years - it's all the same down there.
