Wrongful Dismissal
A Wrongful Dismissal Lawyer in Canada is an employment lawyer who represents employees who believe they were unfairly or illegally terminated from their job without proper notice, severance, or just cause, as required by common law, employment contracts, or employment standards legislation (e.g., the Employment Standards Act in Ontario or equivalent provincial laws).
What constitutes wrongful dismissal:
- Termination without adequate notice or severance pay
- Dismissal without just cause, especially where the employer alleges serious misconduct
- Being forced to resign due to toxic or intolerable work conditions (constructive dismissal)
- Firing that violates human rights or employment standards legislation
Services typically provided by wrongful dismissal lawyers include:
- Review of employment contracts, termination letters, and severance offers
- Assessment of whether the dismissal was lawful
- Negotiation with the employer for fair severance packages
- Representation in mediation, arbitration, or court
- Filing wrongful dismissal lawsuits, if negotiations fail
- Advising on related issues, such as non-compete clauses, benefits, and references
- Human rights claims, if the dismissal involved discrimination
Wrongful dismissal lawyers help clients recover compensation, protect their reputation, and assert their legal rights after being unfairly let go. In many cases, these lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if the client receives a settlement or award.
