Bardal Factors Explained

In Canadian employment law, knowing your rights when you lose your job is crucial. The Bardal Factors play a key role in deciding what you’re entitled to in these situations. These factors help figure out what compensation you might get after being let go from your job. Understanding the Bardal Factors is an important first step in making sure you get what you deserve.

What Are Bardal Factors?

The term “Bardal Factors” originates from the pivotal 1960 legal case of Bardal v. Globe & Mail Ltd. This case set a precedent, outlining key factors that courts and employment lawyers evaluate to determine fair compensation for dismissed employees. These factors include:

The nature and character of the employment
Length of service
Age of the employee
Likelihood of securing similar employment, considering the employee’s experience, training, and qualifications

These considerations serve as a cornerstone in employment law, providing a structured approach to assess each unique termination case.

The Importance of Bardal Factors in Your Employment Termination Case

While the Bardal Factors offer a foundational framework, it’s crucial to acknowledge the breadth of the employment termination landscape in Canada. No two cases are identical, and a myriad of additional considerations can influence an employee’s entitlements upon termination. This variability underscores the necessity of personalized legal guidance.

Why Professional Legal Guidance is Essential

The multifaceted nature of employment law and the individualized nature of termination cases make consulting with an experienced employment lawyer a prudent step. A legal professional can provide a comprehensive evaluation of your situation, considering all relevant factors to ensure you receive the entitlements you are due. Their expertise allows for the negotiation and pursuit of a resolution that aligns with the unique circumstances of your case.

Conclusion: Securing Your Rights with Bardal Factors

Understanding the Bardal Factors is crucial for any employee facing termination. These factors not only inform you of your potential entitlements but also guide the legal process towards a fair resolution. Utilizing tools like the Bardal Factors Calculator can provide initial insights, but the complexities of employment disputes demand professional legal counsel. If you’re facing the termination of your employment, reaching out to an experienced employment lawyer is a critical step towards safeguarding your rights and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.

So I have just started with them and man I am glad I did.
I am usually a floor matt but after my work actually made me sick I had to resign and things got so tough I thought I would never make it but now I see hope.
Charles Millar and his team have been so nice and empathetic. I will come back and let you know how much he rocks after this goes well as I know he will get this!
Edit- 5 weeks in. Still waiting while we continue to be abused. :(

His extensive knowledge in employment matters thoroughly answered all my questions and he also very pleasantly helped me plan my next steps! Abby was also very supportive in helping me connect with a professional during the long weekend. 10/10 service!

Ericson Tapang

My aunt was wrongfully dismissed from her job of 17 years without any valid reason. We struggled to find legal help—many lawyers didn’t return our calls or were too busy to take on the case. That’s when we found Achkar Law. From the very beginning, Chris (the founder) and Madison (a partner) were incredibly helpful and attentive to my aunt’s needs. They were ready to assist us as soon as we walked in.

During our consultation, they clearly explained everything related to labor laws, human rights, and employment matters. Thanks to their expertise and guidance, my aunt is now on the path to getting her life back on track. I highly recommend Achkar Law to anyone in need of employment legal assistance—you won’t be disappointed!

George Adaimi

We recently had a consultation with Chris from ACHKAR LAW regarding an urgent employment issue for a family member, and we had to act quickly. Chris’s professionalism, clear direction, and the way he handled the situation truly stood out. He provided us with valuable legal advice that made a significant difference. I highly recommend ACHKAR LAW to anyone in need of employment or corporate legal services.

I recently left my employer after bieng harassed, descriminated, humiliated, just to name a few. Chris and his team, responded rapidly to my crisis, asking for details and facts about employer and people involved etc... He suggested a strategy session before going any further to inform me of my legal rights and options of recourse. I gladly paid the very reasonable fee for the session. Right away after 5 minutes of talking with Chris, I felt relieved and knew he was looking out for the best realistic outcome, rather than making false promises and giving me false hopes and taking a large retainer fee, (as I have paid with lawyers in the past.) I followed his advice, and I am now keeping him on speed dial for all of my legal needs. Chris and the Achkar team will help you get the best outcome and be there for you when you need them the most. Honesty and service like this is rare these days.
