      Good afternoon Glenn, require direction:
      I have a supervisor:
      States in his offer letter:
      Hired October 17, 2018.
      Salary employee.
      States in job description:
      Oversee day-to-day operations for various yards and for a team of employees-ensure running smoothly, cover for employees if sick/late, resolve and/all issues.
      Be on-call as required.
      Build, motivate, coach and develop employees.
      Assisting on Salt during Winter months.

      The supervisor’s main duties is for the product – Soil (Spring, Summer and Fall) and Salt (Winter).
      The supervisor is refusing to “assist” with the Salt season commencing now until snow events end (approximate end of March beginning April) – we have asked he take every other weekend night shift Fridays and Saturdays. He was a filler “here & there” during the past two winters.
      Please advise if the company has options.
      Thank you.
      Mirella Bennati

        Awesome! Without knowing all the facts, it sounds to me like the supervisor is being insubordinate. Just be sure you understand and can identify the job duty he/she is refusing. I should also mention that you need to respect the supervisor’s OHS rights if the refusal is a dangerous work refusal.
