Employment Law
The relationship between an employer and an employee is a vital
one that affects the entire work environment. At Carters, we have
experience in representing both employees and employers with their
diverse range of employment law matters.
Our employment lawyers can assist with negotiating and drafting
employment contracts, preparing workplace policies and procedures,
and informing employers of their statutory and common law duties
with respect to their employees. There may also be issues with respect
to accommodation for various employees, and our lawyers are able
to educate employers about their duties in that regard, and can
assist in negotiating a result that achieves our clients' goals.
Our employment lawyers can also assist with issues such as wrongful
dismissal claims, negotiating a termination package, human rights
complaints, and harassment claims. Our employment lawyers are knowledgeable
about the applicable legislation, including the Employment Standards
Act, 2000, and the Canada Labour Code.
Our firm is committed to providing high-quality service. We take
time to explain all the options to our clients and recommend an
appropriate course of action.
