No. Rogers has fully resolved a service outage that affected thousands of Canadians.
According to third-party website Downdetector.ca, more than 8,100 issues were reported on June 25 — beginning around 11am ET. Customers claimed that mobile phone lines and mobile internet were among the services affected.
If an outage affects your ability to do your job, here are a few things that non-unionized employees need to be aware of.
In Canada, non-unionized employees can be fired if they’re unable to work because their internet or phone connection is down.
This is called a termination without cause. You can be let go for any reason as long as you’re provided full severance pay and the reasons for your dismissal aren’t discriminatory.
What your employer can’t do in this situation is fire you for cause. To justify this type of dismissal, the company would have to prove progressive disciplinary measures were applied and that a lesser penalty wouldn’t be suitable, which is no minor feat.
In most cases, non-unionized employees don’t meet the criteria necessary to be fired for cause — entitling them to a severance package.
Depending on a remote worker’s compensation structure, they might have to make up for time lost during a service outage.
