When being fired is wrongful dismissal – Understanding Ontario Employment Law

In our practice, we have helped many clients who have come to us after losing their job with concerns about what to do next.

Unfortunately, there are times when  employers fail to adhere to these laws, resulting in a stressful outcome for the employee who has lost their job.

In my practice in wrongful dismissal cases I have found that when a person has been let go, fired or wrongfully terminated from their employment the initial reaction can often be humiliation or embarrassment. It is important to understand, however, that you are not alone and that you do have rights under the Employment Standards Act . To understand those rights it is important to speak with an employment lawyer right away. Being aggressive and well prepared at an early stage ensures that you access the most of your entitlement.
