Employment Law

---

Employment contracts can be very long and very hard to understand, or in some cases, completely non-existent. If you want to know what your contract covers before or after accepting a job, we can help.

Have you experienced an event that made you think that you were the victim of workplace discrimination? The common law and legislative frameworks for workplace discrimination can be hard to navigate. If you are unsure of what to do after an incident at work, we can help.

Do you suffer from an illness, condition, disability, that is temporary or permanent? Do you have special age, religious, or family obligations that conflict with some aspect of your job? If you need some help to get your work done and you and your employer can't see eye-to-eye on an accommodated work plan, we can help.

 Are you entitled to one month per year or a few weeks of notice under the Code? It's hard to know whether you have received the proper amount of severance or pay in lieu of notice. If you need to know how much you should or could receive, we can help. 

 Were you let go from your employment on a "with cause" basis?  Sometimes employers believe they have cause when they don't and without the proper knowledge and experience it can be hard to know if what happened was reasonable. If you have been terminated with cause and need to figure out why, we can help.

 Whatever your circumstances, you might just want help with negotiating your package, promotion, or raise. If you want someone in your corner when negotiating with your employer or if you need someone to advocate on your behalf, we can help.
