Canada Wrongful Dismissal Lawyers
Contrary to popular belief, wrongful dismissal in Canada only refers to an insufficient amount of severance or notice provided to an employee at the time of termination. If you experienced discrimination or mistreatment, that is not considered a core part of a wrongful dismissal. Instead, it is often assessed separately.
How can our wrongful dismissal lawyers help? Employment cases can be very complicated, so having an experienced lawyer on your side is the best way to ensure your goals are achieved. We know that hiring a wrongful dismissal lawyer is a huge decision, and we are confident in the reputation we’ve earned throughout Canada.
Were you wrongfully terminated? If so, contact our employment law firm today. Our wrongful dismissal lawyers have over a decade of experience successfully representing people in disability and employment claims.

Canada Constructive Dismissal Lawyers
Constructive dismissal occurs when you are technically still employed, but the employer has altered your employment in such a fundamental way that it effectively amounts to a dismissal.
Examples of constructive dismissal include changes in working hours or location, pay reductions, demotions, or harassment or discrimination in the workplace.
In these cases, you can treat the employment contract as terminated. You would then be entitled to reasonable notice of termination, either as working notice or pay in lieu of notice.
If you believe you have been constructively dismissed, our Constructive Dismissal Lawyers at Resolute Legal have your back. Contact us today for a free consultation, and let us guide you through the process of securing your rights.
Canada Frustration of Contract Lawyers
In the context of employment law, frustration of contract refers to a situation when an employment contract becomes impossible to fulfill due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of either party (the employer or employee). This can happen when an employee becomes unable to work due to permanent illness or disability.
If your employment contract has become frustrated, your employment is considered to end immediately, and you are not entitled to working notice or severance pay in lieu of notice. However, there are exceptions under provincial and federal employment standards legislation. You may still be eligible for limited severance pay through these laws, even if your employment has become frustrated.
Have you been terminated due to frustation of contract? Our Frustration of Contract Lawyers can guide you through this complicated area of law to ensure you understand your compensation rights. Click on the button below to get started today.
Termination Without Cause
Termination without cause occurs when an employer ends an employment relationship without providing a specific reason related to the employee’s performance or behaviour. In such cases, the employer must provide the employee with reasonable notice or pay in lieu of notice, as determined by the employment contract or relevant employment standards legislation. The amount of notice or pay depends on various factors, including the length of employment, the employee’s role, and the terms of the employment agreement. See Termination Without Cause Ontario for more information.
If you have been terminated without cause, our employment lawyers can help you assess your entitlements and navigate the process. Contact us today for a free consultation.
Termination For Cause
Termination for cause, also known as termination with cause, is the most severe form of dismissal, where an employer ends the employment relationship due to the employee’s misconduct, incompetence, or failure to meet job expectations. In such cases, the employer is not required to provide notice or pay in lieu of notice. However, the threshold for establishing just cause is high, and the employer must have substantial evidence to justify this type of termination. See Termination With Cause Ontario for more information.
If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated for cause, our legal team can review your case and help you protect your rights. Schedule your free consultation today.
Severance Pay and Termination Pay
Severance pay and termination pay are financial compensations provided to employees upon the end of their employment. Termination pay is given in place of notice when an employer decides to terminate an employee immediately without providing the required notice period. Severance pay, on the other hand, is an additional amount paid to long-term employees as a form of compensation for their years of service, especially when the termination is without cause. The eligibility and amount of severance pay depend on various factors, including the length of service and specific employment contracts.
Our employment law attorneys can help you determine your entitlement to severance and termination pay. Contact us for a free consultation.
Human Rights Violations in the Workplace
Human rights violations in the workplace occur when an employee is subjected to discrimination or unfair treatment based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, or religion. These violations are prohibited under the Canadian Human Rights Act and various provincial human rights laws. Employees who experience such violations may file a complaint with the relevant human rights commission or seek legal action against the employer. If you believe your rights have been violated at work, our legal team is here to support you.
We can help you navigate the complaint process and fight for your rights. Schedule your free consultation today.
Harassment and Bullying in the Workplace
Harassment and bullying in the workplace involve unwelcome behaviour, including verbal, physical, or psychological abuse, that creates a hostile or intimidating work environment. Such conduct is prohibited under Canadian employment laws and human rights legislation. Employers are required to take reasonable steps to prevent and address harassment and bullying, ensuring a safe and respectful workplace for all employees. If you have experienced workplace harassment or bullying, our lawyers can help you understand your legal options and take action to protect your rights.

How Our Employment Lawyers Help You
We help you decide the best course of action for your employment dispute. This can include evaluating an existing severance offer or deciding whether to negotiate or file a claim against your employer for severance pay or human rights compensation.
If you hire us, we help you get compensation for severance pay, workplace human rights violations, workplace harassment, and other losses. We do this by negotiating directly with your employer and filing lawsuits or human rights complaints on your behalf. We represent you in all legal proceedings.
We deliver 95% of our services remotely from our offices in Toronto, Ottawa, Moncton and Halifax. In some cases, you will never have to leave your home. We travel to your city or town when necessary. Any in-person meetings are held at our offices or other professional conference rooms in your area.
Sometimes your situation is complicated by overlapping disability claims. In addition to employment law, we represent people in claims involving short-term disability, workers’ compensation, critical illness insurance claim denials, and the disability tax credit.
We offer free consultations to help you understand your rights and paid consultations when you need independent legal advice on whether to accept a severance offer. When representing you, we offer both fixed fee and contingency fee options. So you can choose what makes the most sense for your situation.
