Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What types of employment disputes do you handle for clients at your Toronto office?
We primarily handle disputes related to termination and dismissal, including wrongful dismissal, insufficient notice or pay in lieu of notice, severance agreements, constructive dismissal, breaches of employment contracts, and violations of the Employment Standards Act.
Q2: How long do I have to file a claim after being dismissed from my job in Toronto?
The time limits depend on the specific issue. For termination without cause or ESA breaches, you generally have two years from the date you knew or should have known about the violation. For certain types of harassment or discrimination claims, the limitation period can be up to one year. It's crucial to consult with us promptly.
Q3: Can you help me if my employer offered me a severance package?
Absolutely. We can review the terms of your severance package to ensure it is fair and complies with the ESA and common law standards. We can advise on whether you are entitled to more compensation or benefits and represent your interests in any negotiations.
Q4: Do I need a lawyer to negotiate a settlement with my employer?
While some employees attempt to negotiate directly, having a lawyer represent you is highly recommended. An employment lawyer understands complex legal issues, knows the standard benchmarks for compensation in Toronto, and can negotiate effectively to protect your rights and secure a better outcome than you might achieve alone.
Q5: What is the difference between being dismissed and constructive dismissal?
Dismissal refers to being fired by your employer. Constructive dismissal occurs when an employer makes fundamental changes to the terms of your employment contract or creates a toxic work environment, effectively forcing you to resign. In both cases, you may be entitled to termination pay and other benefits.
