Our Employment Law Services for Employees
We provide expert legal guidance across all major areas of Ontario employment law. Explore your specific situation below to learn how we can help.
Wrongful Dismissal
Were you terminated “with cause” or “without cause”? Many employers use “cause” claims like poor performance or misconduct to avoid paying proper severance. Even if you were let go “without cause,” the amount offered is often far less than what you’re legally entitled to under common law.
Don’t accept your employer’s explanation at face value. You may be owed substantially more.
Severance Package Review
If your employer has presented a severance package and asked you to sign quickly — stop. You may be underpaid. Ontario’s Employment Standards Act provides minimums, but the law also recognizes “common law” entitlements that can be much higher based on your age, role, and years of service.
We review your package, calculate what you’re truly owed, and negotiate for the full amount.
Constructive Dismissal (Forced to Quit)
Has your employer changed your job drastically without consent — cutting your pay, demoting you, relocating you, or creating a toxic environment? You may not have “quit” voluntarily; you may have been constructively dismissed under Ontario law.
Our lawyers help you prove these changes amount to a termination and pursue the compensation you deserve.

Workplace Harassment & Discrimination
You have the right to work in a safe, respectful environment — free from discrimination or harassment based on race, gender, age, disability, or any protected ground under the Ontario Human Rights Code.
If you’re being harassed or your complaints are being ignored, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Our lawyers can take swift action to protect your dignity and hold your employer accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions (Employment Law)
1. How much does an employment lawyer cost?
It depends on your situation. We offer flat-fee reviews for severance packages and flexible payment structures (including contingency or hourly billing) for litigation. We’ll outline all fees upfront during your consultation.
2. How long do I have to file a wrongful dismissal claim in Ontario?
You generally have two years from your termination date to start a claim. However, human rights complaints or constructive dismissal cases may have shorter deadlines. Speak to a lawyer as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
3. My employer wants me to sign a “Full and Final Release.” What does this mean?
It means you’re giving up the right to sue your employer in exchange for the severance offered. Never sign this document without having it reviewed — once signed, it’s binding.
