In Guelph, your rights on the job are protected through Ontario’s Employment Standards Act (ESA), the Ontario Human Rights Code, and common law. The ESA gives you baseline entitlements, such as hours of work, minimum wage, vacation pay, and statutory severance. But for non-unionized employees, those ESA minimums are often just the beginning. If you’re let go, common law severance could mean several months of additional compensation, far beyond what’s listed in the ESA.
No matter what sector you work in, your employer is legally obligated to treat you lawfully. If something feels off, don’t assume it’s normal. An employment lawyer can help you understand your rights and protect them.
If you’re facing a job loss, offered a severance package, handed a new employment contract, or dealing with ongoing workplace issues,don’t wait to get legal advice. Speak to an employment lawyer before you act.
Employment law can be complex, and small missteps, like signing a release too early, can have major consequences. A consultation can bring clarity, preserve your rights, and make sure your next step is the right one.
Non-compete clauses are largely unenforceable in Ontario, especially following the Working for Workers Act, 2021, which prohibits them for most non-executive employees. However, non-solicitation clauses, which stop you from approaching former clients or colleagues, may still hold legal weight if they’re clearly worded and reasonably limited in time and scope. If you’ve signed one of these clauses, or are accused of violating it, it’s important to understand where the law actually stands. We help employees interpret these clauses, challenge them where appropriate, and move forward without undue risk.
