Whitten & Lublin Employment Lawyers in Whitby handle all types of workplace legal issues

Our practice is devoted to employment law. This focus allows us to offer refined legal strategies, anticipate employer tactics, and deliver valuable, strategic advice. We don’t just know the rules; we know how they’re applied, tested, and negotiated in the real world. We regularly assist clients in Whitby and across Ontario with matters such as:

  • wrongful dismissal
  • constructive dismissal
  • severance pay and severance package reviews
  • human rights violations, workplace harassment, and sexual harassment
  • workplace discrimination and bullying
  • employment contracts
  • shareholder and partnership disputes
  • workplace investigation
  • disability insurance claims
  • class action lawsuits

Whether you’ve been let go, handed a severance package, or forced to navigate a difficult work environment, we help you make informed, strategic decisions. With employment law matters, stakes can be high, and the pressure to act quickly is often intense. We respond with precise legal analysis and a plan built around your specific circumstances.

Clients in Whitby come to us with a range of priorities. Some seek resolution and closure. Others want to contest the terms of their severance pay or challenge mistreatment. We take the time to understand what matters to you, then develop a legal strategy that’s both practical and effective.

Our focus is on substance: what the law provides, what your position allows, and how to move forward with control. We don’t offer vague assurances or one-size-fits-all answers. We provide clear next steps, grounded in legal authority and guided by your best interests. When your livelihood is on the line, clarity is essential. The right legal support won’t solve everything overnight, but it will give you a clearer path and the tools to move forward with purpose.

We have handled thousands of workplace disputes in and out of the courtroom and have a long-standing reputation for helping our clients in Whitby receive the results they are entitled to.

Legal fees vary depending on the complexity of your situation. For example, reviewing an employment agreement is typically billed at an hourly rate, while matters like wrongful dismissal or severance are handled through a flat-fee consultation.
If ongoing support is needed, we’ll explain the billing structure clearly and transparently. At Whitten & Lublin, our employment lawyers serving Whitby are committed to providing guidance from the start, ensuring you understand your options and receive value for the services you need.

There’s no standard timeline. Some workplace issues can be resolved in a matter of weeks through negotiation, while others, especially those involving litigation or claims under the Ontario Human Rights Code, may take several months or longer.
It depends on the facts, the legal process involved, and the approach of the other party. Throughout your case, we’ll keep you informed, provide guidance at each step, and work toward a resolution that respects both your rights and your time.

Yes and ideally before you sign. An employment agreement often includes clauses that can limit your rights, especially around termination and minimum entitlements. Employers may try to restrict your severance or introduce language that conflicts with Ontario’s employment standards.
Having a lawyer review the contract ensures you understand the implications and are protected if your relationship with the employer breaks down. At Whitten & Lublin, we help employees in Whitby spot the risks early and make informed decisions with confidence.
