FAQ’s
What are my rights if I am terminated from my job in Ottawa?
If you’re terminated, you may be entitled to termination pay, severance, or common law notice, depending on your situation. It’s important to review any offer before signing, as you might be owed more than what is initially offered.
What should an employer include in an employment contract?
An employment contract should clearly outline terms such as duties, compensation, termination provisions, and workplace policies. Well-drafted contracts can help prevent disputes later on.
How do I know if my workplace issue qualifies as harassment or discrimination?
Harassment and discrimination cover a wide range of behaviours. If you’re experiencing unwanted conduct related to race, gender, disability, or other protected grounds, you may have a case under federal or Ontario’s human rights laws.
What is constructive dismissal?
Constructive dismissal occurs when significant changes to your job — such as reduced hours, demotion, or toxic workplace conditions — force you to leave your position. Legal advice can help determine if you have a claim.
What labour law services do you offer for organizations in Ottawa?
We assist organizations with a wide range of labour law matters, including union negotiations, collective agreements, and addressing workplace disputes in unionized environments. Our goal is to help you manage risks and maintain compliance with Ontario’s and federal labour laws.
