What constitutes wrongful dismissal in Ontario?

Wrongful dismissal occurs when an employee is terminated without proper notice or pay in lieu of notice as required by the Employment Standards Act or common law. This includes dismissal without cause, constructive dismissal, and termination that breaches employment contract terms. Thomas Mellon Law can assess your situation and determine if you have a wrongful dismissal claim.

What should I do if I'm experiencing workplace harassment?

Document all incidents, report the harassment through your employer's internal procedures, and contact Thomas Mellon Law for legal advice. We can help you understand your rights, file human rights complaints, pursue workplace remedies, and seek compensation for damages caused by workplace harassment or discrimination.

How is severance pay calculated in Ontario?

Severance pay depends on length of service, age, position, availability of similar employment, and terms of employment contract. The Employment Standards Act provides minimum notice requirements, but common law may entitle employees to significantly more. Thomas Mellon Law can calculate your proper entitlement and negotiate fair severance packages.

Do you handle employment contract negotiations?

Yes, Thomas Mellon Law assists with employment contract review, negotiation, and drafting for both employees and employers. We ensure contracts comply with employment law, protect our clients' interests, and include appropriate terms regarding compensation, benefits, termination clauses, and restrictive covenants.
