We help businesses and employees with employment law issues. For businesses, we know that employees play a big role in your success. For employees, we know that your employment is critical to your personal success. Employment law in Ontario is often complex and your rights and obligations usually depend on your particular circumstances.
We help non-unionized businesses and employees with a variety of employment law issues, including employment contracts, terminations of employment and human rights issues.
Employment Contracts: Written employment contracts are important to ensure expectations are clear, and to define rights and obligations, including on termination of employment. A thorough and clear employment agreement can go a long way to avoiding problems down the road during employment and when employment ends.
Employee Terminations: It is now rare for employees to stay with the same company for their entire career. We can help you navigate and resolve terminations of employment, including representation in wrongful dismissal claims.
Human Rights Issues: Discrimination in the workplace is an issue of increasing importance. We help employers fulfill their duty to accommodate and both employers and employees to navigate their rights and obligations about workplace discrimination, whether responding to, or helping you make, a discrimination claim.
