f.a.q. for employees

What’s the difference between wrongful and constructive dismissal?

 Wrongful dismissal refers to being terminated without proper notice or compensation. Constructive dismissal occurs when your working conditions change so drastically that it’s equivalent to being fired.

 

Am I entitled to severance pay if I was fired?

 It depends on your contract, how long you’ve worked, and your position. We can review your termination package and negotiate a better deal, if appropriate.

You are not entitled to any severance or compensation if you were terminated for cause. 

Do you represent unionized employees?

 Unionized workers typically deal with issues through their union, but we offer independent legal advice and representation in certain cases, such as discrimination,   professional discipline  matters and termination for cause. 

Do you provide free initial consultations?

Free initial consultation may be used for us to better understand your case and advise you what is the best way to proceed with your defence. However we do not provide free legal advice and typically we do not take wrongful dismissal cases pro bono.

A university instructor’s reprisal complaint was dismissed not on its merits, but because he failed to follow procedural directions. This post explores how even highly educated professionals can self-sabotage under stress, and why representation isn’t about intelligence. Instead, it’s about creating the distance between the opposing counsel and oneself.

Why Employees Should Think Twice Before Using ChatGPT in Workplace Disputes
ChatGPT can be a helpful starting point, but in workplace disputes, it’s no substitute for legal advice. Employees who rely on AI-generated content risk missing key deadlines, misinterpreting laws, or presenting information improperly. This post explores how overconfidence in free tools can backfire and why employment disputes require strategic, fact-specific guidance. When your job, reputation, or severance is on the line, it’s worth getting advice from someone who actually practices the law, not just the internet or AI.

What to Do When Management Tries to Push You Out of Your Job
If your manager is suddenly criticizing your work, excluding you from meetings, or demoting your title, you might be facing "constructive dismissal." In Ontario, fundamental changes to your employment terms can be treated as termination, even if you haven’t actually been fired. But here is the trap: if you resign in frustration without legal advice, you could walk away from thousands of dollars in severance. This guide explains exactly how to document a "poisoned" work environment, why you must not quit on the spot, and how to build a legal strategy to exit on your own terms while maximizing the compensation you deserve.

Employment Law Essentials: What Every Employer Should Know
Many employers wrongly assume they are safe just by following the Employment Standards Act. In reality, the gap between ESA minimums and common law severance can cost your business tens of thousands of dollars per employee. This guide breaks down the absolute essentials for protecting your company: why you need enforceable written contracts before the first day of work, the specific dangers of using outdated termination clauses, and the critical importance of documenting performance issues. We explain how a proactive legal strategy prevents minor HR headaches from exploding into six-figure wrongful dismissal lawsuits. Prevention is always cheaper than a courtroom defence.
