Whether you are an independent contractor, full- or part-time employee starting a new position or leaving your employment, we can assist with the transition.

In employment contracts in Ontario, there are more and more instances of employees limiting their rights to certain benefits without their knowledge. It is important to ensure that you are not rushed into signing a contract without an opportunity to review it carefully or have it reviewed by a lawyer.

At the same time, if you have been terminated from your employment with or without cause, it is advisable to have your termination package reviewed or to consult a lawyer regarding the circumstances surrounding termination to ensure that your former employer has complied with its legal obligations.

We understand that leaving a job can be a very stressful experience and it is important to clients to have their employment matters wrapped up as soon as possible.

If you wish to set up a consultation regarding your employment matter, please contact Tannis Waugh who assists her clients in the following ways:

• Severance package reviews;
