With Whitten & Lublin in your corner, you are not just getting support from leading lawyers, you are being empowered to take control of your employment outcome.
If you’re employed in London, your workplace rights come from multiple sources. The Employment Standards Act (ESA) sets the legal minimums for wages, time off, work hours, and basic termination rights. But that’s only part of the equation. Most non-unionized employees in London are also entitled to common law protections, which often provide far greater severance than the ESA allows. Add to that the Ontario Human Rights Code, which prohibits discrimination and protects your dignity at work. No matter what sector you’re currently in, your employment rights are enforceable, and you don’t have to accept less just because your employer says it’s standard.
Legal advice isn’t just for people in crisis. If you’re being pressured to accept a severance package, are facing substantial changes to your duties or responsibilities you don’t feel comfortable with, or encountering subtle but escalating situations that are beginning to feel like mistreatment, consulting a lawyer early can help you take control of the situation.
London employees often reach out too late, after signing something that waives key entitlements. An employment lawyer helps you evaluate the risks, understand your options, and respond strategically. In employment law, timing matters. Acting early can mean the difference between walking away empty-handed and walking away with security.
In many situations, yes. A temporary layoff might sound like a pause, but in legal terms, it can qualify as a constructive dismissal if your contract doesn’t explicitly allow it. That means your employer may have unintentionally terminated you, giving you the right to severance. London employers may assume they can lay off staff without consequence, especially during economic shifts. But the law may say otherwise. Don’t assume a layoff is legal just because it’s labeled “temporary.” Talk to an experienced employment lawyer from our team to assess whether your rights have been breached and whether you’re owed compensation.
