  1. 1

    I recently left my job at a pizzeria where I had been working for about a month. From the very beginning, the working conditions were terrible, with issues like cross-contamination and poor scheduling. To make matters worse, they consistently withheld my pay. Despite my attempts to get paid, both the manager and owner kept dodging my requests. I reached a breaking point and researched my rights under Alberta Employment Standards, which stated that I could resign immediately since I had been there for less than 90 days. I made the tough decision to call and quit, but my boss reacted angrily and threatened to withhold my three weeks of pay. Now, he’s not responding to me at all, and I’m feeling lost about what to do next.
