Common questions

Employment law FAQ

In Ontario, employers can terminate employees without cause — but must provide adequate notice or pay in lieu. "Wrongful dismissal" occurs when you don't receive the notice you're legally entitled to under common law, which is often significantly more than the ESA minimum. Most employees are entitled to far more than they receive.

Not before speaking with us. Signing releases your right to claim more. Initial severance offers are almost always below what you're legally entitled to. We review packages quickly — often within 24 hours — and can frequently negotiate significantly more.

Notice entitlement depends on length of service, age, role, and availability of similar employment. ESA minimums are one week per year of service (max 8 weeks). Common law entitlement is typically much higher — often 1 month per year for senior employees. Don't accept the ESA minimum without asking us first.

Constructive dismissal occurs when an employer makes a significant, unilateral change to a fundamental term of your employment — such as a pay cut, demotion, or change in duties — without your consent. In these situations, you may be entitled to treat yourself as dismissed and claim severance.
