If you have been dismissed without cause, pressured into signing an agreement, or subjected to unfair treatment at work, our team will walk you through your rights and the steps available to you. Employment law is broad, and the issues employees face are rarely the same.
Ontario’s Employment Standards Act (ESA) provides minimum protections on issues like termination, vacation pay, and overtime. Employees in federally regulated industries may instead fall under the Canada Labour Code, which offers a different set of rights, including remedies for unjust dismissal. These laws are only part of the framework. Common law often provides additional entitlements that go beyond what the statutes require.
At Whitten & Lublin, we bring these pieces together and explain how the law applies to your situation. Whether you are navigating a dismissal, responding to a toxic workplace, or need help negotiating a severance package, we design a legal plan that protects your interests. With the right guidance, you can move forward on your terms.
Many people worry that speaking with a lawyer will be too expensive, especially if they have just lost their job. The reality is that the cost depends on your specific situation. A simple contract review is billed hourly, while severance or dismissal cases usually begin with a flat-fee consultation. If your matter requires ongoing negotiation or litigation, we explain the options and structure before moving forward so there are no surprises.
Timelines vary, and this uncertainty can be stressful. Some cases resolve in weeks through negotiation, others may take several months and time in Ontario courts.
At Whitten & Lublin, we manage this process with you step by step. We explain what to expect under the ESA’s minimum rules, and what you may be entitled to under common law. With that clarity, you can plan around realistic timelines and make informed decisions.
When your job, your severance, or your reputation is on the line, the short answer is yes. For example, employers sometimes present severance packages that provide less than what the law requires.
An employment lawyer ensures you are not pressured into signing away rights you do not fully understand. At Whitten & Lublin, we show you where the offer falls short, explain how courts have handled similar cases, and give you the tools to negotiate or challenge your employer effectively.
