Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What types of employment issues do you handle for employees in Toronto?
We primarily assist employees in Toronto who have been dismissed without cause or constructively dismissed. This includes advising on wrongful termination, seeking compensation through the Dismissal Compensation Plan, addressing issues related to layoffs, and representing clients in Employment Standards Board of Review (ESBR) hearings.
Q2: Do I need to have worked for a certain period to qualify for dismissal benefits?
Generally, to be eligible for dismissal benefits through the Ontario Dismissal Compensation Plan, an employee must have completed at least one year of satisfactory employment with their employer in Ontario, including Toronto. We can review your specific circumstances to determine eligibility.
Q3: How long do I have to file a claim after being dismissed?
The time limits for filing claims related to employment termination vary depending on the issue. For wrongful dismissal claims, the limitation period is generally two years from the date of termination. For ODCC benefits, applications must typically be submitted within 12 months of termination. We can advise you on the specific deadlines applicable to your situation.
Q4: What is the difference between wrongful dismissal and constructive dismissal?
Wrongful dismissal occurs when an employer terminates an employment contract without providing sufficient notice or pay in lieu of notice as required by the Employment Standards Act. Constructive dismissal happens when an employer makes a significant change to the fundamental terms of the employment contract, effectively forcing the employee to resign. Both situations entitle the dismissed employee to claim compensation.
Q5: Can you help me if my employer laid me off during the pandemic?
Yes, we can advise on layoffs that occurred during the pandemic. While economic reasons are a valid reason for termination without cause, employers must still follow the notice requirements outlined in the Employment Standards Act. If you believe you were not given proper notice or were laid off unfairly, we can review your situation and advise on your options.
