Employment Law

For Employees

Protecting Your Rights at Work

Our firm specializes in a wide range of employment, corporate and civil law matters, including wrongful dismissals, terminations, contract disputes, and more.

Terminations

If you have been let go from your employment, whether due to a layoff, termination, or any other reason, you can rely on our dedicated team of experienced employment law professionals at Workly Law to provide you with unwavering support and guidance throughout this challenging period. This includes reviewing termination letters and assessing your compensation entitlements.

Executive Compensation Issues

Executive compensation plans are nuanced and complex. Workly Law supports executives in the negotiation of executive contracts as well as representation on terminations and with respect to non-competition issues. This covers annual bonuses, restricted share units, equity pay, and long-term incentive compensation disputes.

Contract Reviews & Employment Offers

Whether you find yourself in the position of needing guidance and clarification on an existing employment contract or seeking expert assistance in negotiating the terms of a new agreement, Workly Law is fully equipped to provide you with comprehensive support.

Constructive Dismissals

When an employer unilaterally changes fundamental terms of your employment — reducing your pay, changing your role, or creating an intolerable work environment — you may have been constructively dismissed. We help you understand your rights and take action.

Discrimination & Human Rights Cases

We represent employees in Human Rights Tribunal proceedings and Ontario Superior Court actions involving discrimination, harassment, and reprisal. You have rights — and we'll help you enforce them.

Sexual Harassment & Bullying

Workplace harassment and bullying are serious matters. We advocate for employees facing hostile work environments and ensure your legal protections are enforced.

Non-Competition Agreements

Non-competition and non-solicitation agreements can significantly impact your career. We review, negotiate, and challenge restrictive covenants to protect your ability to earn a living.

Partnership Disputes

When business partnerships break down, employment and corporate issues often intersect. We represent individuals navigating complex partnership disputes with employment implications.
