Tailor Law Employment Lawyers provides expertise and assistance in the following areas:

Wrongful dismissal claims

A wrongful dismissal claim is a legal action available to an employee who has been dismissed from their job without cause and without adequate notice in accordance with the applicable employment standards legislation. The employee would be eligible for damages, either through court proceedings or out-of-court negotiations, for compensation for lost wages and benefits, as well as punitive damages in some cases.

Workplace harassment issues

Workplace harassment can take many forms, such as discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, disability and sexual orientation. It can also include verbal or physical abuse, bullying and threats. If left unchecked it can create a hostile work environment that is detrimental to productivity and morale. Tailor Law Mississauga Employment Lawyers is experienced in workplace harassment litigation and will ensure your rights are protected and you receive any restitution you are entitled to.

Short-term disability claims

Short-term disability claims are available to employees who have suffered a temporary disability, such as an injury or illness, that prevents them from working. These claims can allow the employee to receive financial benefits in order to cover any lost wages and medical expenses that may have been incurred as a result of their condition. Short-term disability claims are typically filed through employers or private insurance companies and must meet certain eligibility criteria in order for the claim to be successful.

Workers’ compensation matters

Workers’ compensation matters involve injury or illness that is sustained by an employee in the course of their work. If an employee has been injured or become ill due to their work, they may be entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits from their employer. These include medical and living expenses, as well as a lump sum payment for lost wages. Not all employers are required to provide worker’s compensation benefits, so it is important for employees to know and understand their rights when it comes to filing a claim.

Wage disputes

Wage disputes arise when an employee feels they are not receiving the wages that they are entitled to. This can happen for various reasons, such as being paid below minimum wage or not receiving overtime pay. If an employee believes that their wages have been unfairly withheld, they have the right to file a claim with their state’s Department of Labor. An employer may be required to pay back any unpaid wages and could face other penalties if found guilty of wage theft.

Severance pay negotiations

Severance pay negotiations involve the process of negotiating a severance agreement with an employer. These discussions typically involve matters such as the amount of money received, any benefits or job security guarantees, and non-compete clauses. It’s important for employees to understand their rights when it comes to severance pay and to make sure that their interests are adequately represented during negotiation. An experienced attorney can provide guidance throughout this process.

Drafting employment contracts and policies

Drafting employment contracts and policies is an important part of protecting both employers and employees. It’s essential that these documents are clearly written to identify the rights and responsibilities of each party. Employment contracts should include details such as wages, hours, benefits, job descriptions, termination clauses, and any other specific agreements. Additionally, employers should create internal policies outlining their expectations for employee behaviour and expectations of compliance with applicable laws.

Mediation services for resolving complex workplace disputes.

Mediation services provide an alternative to traditional litigation for resolving complex workplace disputes. Mediation can help the parties involved resolve their disputes in a timely and cost-effective manner. During mediation, both parties have an opportunity to present their cases and work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution. The mediator is typically a neutral individual or team trained in dispute resolution techniques who encourage both sides to come to an agreement that works for everyone. Successful mediation can save time and money, reduce stress, and build better relationships between employers and employees.
