JK has other problems. Paul Lopez is the accounting manager for JK Properties in ToronCto. He has worked there for 12 years and makes $72,000 a year. Mary Green is a payroll clerk who has been there 4 years and makes $40,000 a year. Paul was Mary's supervisor. Mary frequently was late and left early but she said she had family problems. Mary often played computer games and was on Facebook constantly. One day as Mary got into her car to leave work she dropped her bag and printer cartridges and office supplies that belong to JK fell out. Paul, walking by with four workers, saw this and he said "That's it Mary you lazy thief. You're fired." Mary said he had no right to fire her and she plans to sue for lots of money and get her job back. Another worker Lisa contacted Jim King, the JK President, and said that Paul often made rude sexual remarks to her and she wanted it stopped. Jim then spoke to Paul, who denied Lisa's claims. Jim said he didn't want any more problems, so he was transferring Paul to their other office in Windsor 5 hours away. Paul said his family wouldn't leave Toronto and he couldn't move. Jim said the Windsor job paid the same salary so the company could move him. Paul then said "I quit." Paul is now planning to sue JK. The company says it did nothing wrong and it was Paul's own decision to leave. Lawyers were contacted. All JK employment contracts state termination notice is limited to a maximum of 8 weeks (10 marks - Discuss all legal issues pertaining to this case) .
