Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What types of employment issues do you handle for employees in Toronto?
A: We specialize in representing employees in Toronto facing issues such as wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, workplace harassment, discrimination based on protected grounds, breaches of employment contracts, and violations of the Employment Standards Act.
Q2: How long do I have to file a claim after my employment ends?
A: Time limits for employment-related claims in Ontario vary depending on the specific issue (e.g., Employment Standards Act claims generally have a 3-year limit from the date the rights were infringed, while Human Rights Code claims have a 1-year limit for filing an application with the Landlord and Tenant Board or Human Rights Tribunal, which may extend to 2 years for certain actions). It's crucial to seek legal advice promptly.
Q3: Do I need to have a written employment contract to have rights?
A: No, you have rights even without a written contract. The Ontario Employment Standards Act sets out minimum standards for things like hours of work, pay, vacation pay, public holiday pay, termination pay, and more. Additionally, common law principles often provide rights beyond the ESA, such as the duty to accommodate and prohibitions against harassment and discrimination.
Q4: What is the difference between termination without cause and constructive dismissal?
A: Termination without cause means your employer decides to let you go for reasons unrelated to your performance. You are entitled to notice or severance pay as per the ESA and your contract (if any). Constructive dismissal occurs when an employer makes a significant change to your job (a fundamental breach) that the employer cannot undo, effectively forcing you to resign. In constructive dismissal, you may be able to claim damages similar to what you would have received if you were terminated without cause.
Q5: Can I make a claim if I was dismissed due to a disability?
A: Yes, dismissal based on a disability is considered discrimination under the Ontario Human Rights Code. This includes dismissal because you took leave for a disability-related reason (like sick leave or family responsibilities), required reasonable accommodation, or disclosed a disability. We can advise you on pursuing a claim for discrimination.
