Employment Law - For Employees
We help employees in three main areas:
1) If you have been terminated, we will meet with you to discuss your entitlement to a severance package. If you have been provided with a package, we will assess the package to see if your employer is making a fair offer to you. We negotiate fair packages and, when an employer is not willing to be fair, we assist employees in suing their former employers for wrongful dismissal.
2) If you have been offered a job and presented with an employment contract to sign, we will review that contract for you and advise you of the implications of signing the contract. Occasionally, those contracts can be revised through negotiation so that they are fair to both sides.
3) If you are faced with a constructive dismissal situation at work, we will advise you of the options that you have to address the problem and guide you through the process. “Constructive dismissal” is the situation where your employer, by their conduct, is breaking the contract of employment. It could be because of a demotion, a cut in pay or responsibility, harassment or a variety of other reasons.
