FOR EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES

Employment Standards, Labour Code, Common law, Ministry of Labour, Collective Agreements, Labour Board, Human Rights Code and more. Issues are complicated and varied, there is often more than one path to take. As an employer, you should never release an employee without legal advice, it could be very costly. As an employee, you should always seek legal advice before accepting a termination package and or signing a release. Employers rarely offer you what you are actually entitled to on the first offer and typically the offer is made under duress. DO NOT cave under pressure, there is a better deal waiting.

Employment Law is NOT black and white. Searching an internet filled with chat rooms and U.S information will further mislead you and cloud the issues. The Ministry of Labour’s website presents only statutory minimums and does not paint a full picture. No matter which side you are on, a qualified legal opinion is detrimental.

A free consultation with CRAMER LEGAL will add clarity to your specific situation. Once you have the facts and all of the options before you, it is much simpler to make an educated strategic decision that suits your best interests. Alternatively, an emotional response may lead to life altering and irreversible consequences and financial difficulty. Do not make such an important decision without first seeking legal advice.
