Employees in a non-unionized workplace have a variety of important legal rights. These rights may be set out in an employment contract, implied by law or mandated by legislation. Our employment lawyers represent employees in all matters arising out of their employment, including:
- Wrongful Dismissal – when you are fired from your job without sufficient cause, you are typically entitled to pay in lieu of notice.
- Constructive Dismissal – when you feel forced to quit or when your employer changes a major term or condition of employment, you may be entitled to pay in lieu of notice.
- Employment Contract Review – contracts should be looked over by a professional prior to being signed.
- Misclassification – when employers treat you as a contractor instead of an employee, you may nevertheless be an employee in the eyes of the law. In such cases, you would be afforded all the benefits and protections of employment such as vacation with pay, overtime pay, minimum wage, and pay in lieu of notice upon termination.
- Unpaid Wages – where companies refuse or fail to pay your proper wages, there are various avenues we may take to pursue recovery of your wages.
- Harassment – when you are harassed in your place of business, you can file an internal complaint with your employer.
- Health and Safety – when employers are not taking appropriate precautions to protect their employees, there are steps that may be taken to ensure you work in a safe environment.
