Because we act on behalf of both employers and employees, we can better anticipate the arguments of opposing parties, making us the ideal advocates for employees who are having issues with a current or former employer.
In certain cases, we offer a deferred fee arrangement, which allows the client to delay payment of fees incurred during litigation until the matter settles or is otherwise concluded.
Beyond terminations, we can help you with all of your Human Resources questions such as: overtime, vacations and leave, employees who require accommodations due to illness or disability, discrimination and human rights, retirement, pensions, workplace safety, and issues related to drug and alcohol testing in the workplace. We can also help you develop a set of legal documents for you to use in your business such as: employment contracts, policy handbooks (including workplace harassment and violence policies) and other agreements. We can also help you navigate the Employment Standards Act, 2000 the Canada Labour Code, and the Ontario Human Rights Code.
