My question involves labor and employment law for the province of British Columbia: (US law is fine if it's all you know...although if you know British law it's closer to Canadian law.)
My fiancee started a commercial diving job a month ago, in which he had to sign a contract. He ended up getting paid at least $1000 under what he was supposed to get paid. His boss meanwhile started yelling at the employees of the business for his own small mistakes, not their mistakes. This has happened on a daily basis for the last two weeks.
On the weekend, the boss sent out a mass text telling the employees that they could not show up to work on Monday and never come back again. (so he wouldn't have to fire them most likely. He never told them when to come in on Monday if they wanted to come.)
They all came to work today, and when the boss started yelling at them, my fiancee decided to quit. The boss said that he couldn't quit because of the contract he had signed an that he'd take him to court if he did quit.
Was the contract already breached because my fiancee wasn't paid what was agreed upon?
Could the text "allowing employees to quit" two days before help him leave his job?
