If you are an employee and have been terminated by your employer, there are certain rights and entitlements available to you. It is important to review your entitlements and rights with a lawyer. Often there are disputes with respect to whether or not an employee quit, whether an employee was a contractor, severance entitlements, and restrictions on employee post termination.
An employer in Ontario should also be aware of the manner of termination of the employee, and that the Human Rights Code of Ontario and the Employment Standards Act, are statutes which must be followed.
Whether you are an employee or an employer, J. Solomon Law can provide you with legal advice, reviewing of severance packages, offers of employment, and drafting employment contracts. We can also assist in pursuing or defending wrongful dismissal claims.
