We recognize that work is the cornerstone of many people's lives.
For that reason, we understand that how and where you work, who you work with, and the end of employment are significant issues for many people.
Our clients include small and large businesses, labour and management clients, and public and private sector workplaces. We specialize in not-for-profit workplaces and periodically offer free seminars to our clients on a variety of current labour and employment issues.
Whether your workplace is unionized or not, we can assist with:
• policy drafting and implementation (eg. personnel manuals, policies on anti-harassment, privacy & confidentiality, technology, non-competition)
• compliance with legislation
• safety, workplace violence, and workers’ compensation
• training and human resource management
• human rights compliance
• workplace investigations (harassment, human rights)
• EI and CPP appeals
• periodic newsletters
If your workplace is unionized, we can assist with:
• certification matters
• negotiating and implementing Collective Agreements
• handling grievances, arbitrations, and judicial reviews
• unfair labour practice claims
• job postings
• mediation.
For non-unionized environments, we can assist with:
• drafting or reviewing employment contracts
• for employees, wrongful dismissals or other terminations or responses to discipline
• review of severance packages
