An employment lawyer can assist with:
- Workplace safety
- Workplace investigations
- Wrongful terminations
- Severance packages
- Executive compensation
- Workplace harassment
- Drafting and reviewing employment agreements
- Violations of the Ontario Human Rights Code
Employees
Discrimination: Discrimination, which is one of the most common issues that employees and potential employees face, can be caused by a variety of factors, including gender discrimination, racial discrimination, religious discrimination, and discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Sexual Harassment: This is any inappropriate sexual suggestive behaviour and/or speech that creates an atmosphere that hinders the employee’s ability to perform their duties effectively, which is typically regarded as a form of discrimination.
Harassment and Bullying: Employers must investigate and address workplace harassment and bullying. If an employee files a complaint or the employer has reason to believe that bullying or harassment is occurring in the workplace, they have certain responsibilities that, if not adhered to, could result in serious problems.
Wrongful Termination: An employee can sue their former employer if they believe they were wrongfully terminated. For instance, in the event that there is evidence to suggest that they were terminated because of their pregnancy, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation.
