For over 25 years, our employment lawyers Mississauga have dedicated their lives to utilizing successful strategies to help clients get maximum compensation and benefits in cases that involve harassment, discrimination, wage violations, and unequal salary, among other work environment issues.
Employees have a right to be legally dismissed. Wrongful dismissal is an unlawful act that occurs when an employee’s contract is terminated in a way that violates one or more terms of the employment law. Wrongful dismissal may also apply to employees who don’t have a formal employment contract. Unfortunately, there are many organizations that terminate employees without respecting the wrongful termination laws in Canada. Our lawyers are experienced in unlawful termination cases and can handle complex negotiations and lawsuits. Every wrongful dismissal case is unique and requires a legal professional to thoroughly review and explain the best options.
Constructive dismissal, also known as constructive discharge, occurs when an employee is forced to resign, leading to involuntary separation. As employment lawyers, we help educate our clients about their rights and options in situations where the employer caused the termination, even if they technically handed a resignation letter. Constructive dismissal often occurs when an employer gives the employee an ultimatum to resign or be fired. This would mean that the employee would lose their job regardless of their choice. However, constructive dismissal cases are not as straightforward and obvious. You’ll need an experienced employment lawyer to fight for your rights.
Losing a job that provides security for you and your dependents can be a confusing and heartbreaking experience. A severance package often helps workers get by after the termination before they can find another similar job. There are many cases where the employer may not provide you with the benefits you expected, or the package could make it difficult for you to find a similar position in future. If you have concerns about the severance package you’ve just received, don’t sign it. Instead, get in touch with our employment lawyers. We will review the severance package for you and determine if you got what you deserve and even help negotiate for better terms.
There are laws that prohibit employers from discriminating against employees based on religion, race, national origin, disability, age, and pregnancy, among other factors. If you have experienced any form of harassment or discrimination at the workplace, you do have rights and legal options. Every employee has a right to a discrimination-free workplace. Unfortunately, this is not always provided by all Canadian employers. We have represented employees in cases involving discrimination at work and harassment for many years. We are here to protect and enforce your rights. Reach out to us to discuss the potential of filing a claim for harassment and discrimination in the workplace.
If you are no longer able to work due to an injury or illness, you have the right to file a disability claim under your employer group plan. These claims are often complex and hard to win, especially when you’ve been denied after the initial application. Our experienced employment lawyer can help you obtain the benefits you deserve. We’ve handled many LTD claims and can overcome any hurdles that insurance companies may want to throw your way. If the decision to deny your long-term disability benefits was wrong, we can help you recover the lost benefits. Schedule an appointment today to learn more.
