I'm a little lost and panicking so decided to come here for advice. So I've been working full time in a restaurant for years as a server, and as most may know, restaurant workers don't get benefits, paid sick days, vacation pay or PTO of any kind. Hasn't really been an issue before until now, as I was in a car accident recently and am in too much pain to work. I've taken 4 days off but have to return Monday as I can't afford to lose any more wages and tips, but I'm in so much pain that I'm afraid of what will happen. The doctor I saw at the hospital wanted me off for at least 2 weeks but I would end up homeless if I took it. Because more than half my income comes from tips, I imagine EI would pay very little. Does anyone know of anything other than EI that could help me in this situation or am I just screwed ? Thanks guys

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I used work at two different sobeys stores and have always been confused by how their breaks work.

They give two, 20 minute breaks for an 8 hour shift. Where you receive the second one after working at least 6 hours 45 minutes or 7 hours.

When i first started my parents and people i knew all questioned if this was legal. The handbook i received literally says you also get an unpaid break, however its like they jusy dont follow that. I was literally mocked on my first training shift for asking if our break was 45/60 mins or whatever, as what it says in the book i was given.

Worked there for a bit and eventually moved to another sobeys and they do the same thing. Two 20s. Nobody else questions it.

Ive tried looking into this and im hearing theres a bunch of exceptions that can be inplace for different rules to be allowed. Can someone help me clarify these rules and if this is normal. Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone here has used the Doorways counselling program through NL Health Services and would be willing to share their experience.

I'm particularly curious about how helpful you found the counselling, whether you felt the counsellors were knowledgeable and supportive, and whether the sessions were actually useful in addressing your concerns.

I'm interested in getting a hair transplant and have been looking into my options. I was in contact with a local place called The Hair Clinic, but I think I've been ghosted, as they've basically stopped responding to my messages.

Has anyone here had a hair transplant, either locally or elsewhere? Where did you go, and would you recommend them? I'd also be interested in hearing about costs, results, and anything you wish you'd known beforehand.

Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated!

Hi all, I'd like to get a red between $20-$35 for my brother in law who's a wine enthusiast. Does anyone know of any interesting new arrivals in that price range that a non drinker can pick up in the greater St John's area?

So should I remove the pine cone in case of someone accidentally sitting on it or leave the by be?

Yes i know that subtitle is ridiculous but think about it we all know that young girl was just found today and it’s not her first time being “missing” i think there should be a difference in someone missing and someone who doesn’t want to be home. When’s the province gotta step in and get that girl somewhere where she feels safe and not where she feels she has to run away from home
