Employment Terminated? Call Now And Speak To Our Employment Compensation Specialist. Free Confidential Advice.
Fired. Dismissed. Terminated. Laid-off. However characterized, losing your job can be a very stressful time. Terminated employees often blindly accept minimum offers of termination pay without realizing that they may be entitled to weeks or even months more in financial compensation. If you have been terminated, for any reason, including with cause as alleged by your employer, take the time to speak with an Employment Compensation Specialist to ensure that you receive what you are entitled to at the time of your termination.
Have you been provided with a reasonable offer of termination pay? What about your benefits? Annual bonus? Will you be eligible to receive Employment Insurance to assist with your financial obligations until you find comparable alternative employment? What if your employer has brought allegations of cause and has not provided you with anything? In tuff economic times employers are quick to terminate employees without providing reasonable notice, which may constitute wrongful dismissal - or worse, they may manufacture a reason to terminate your employment - leaving you with nothing.
Principle provides legal services with a focus on negotiating and recovering all legal (monetary and documentary) entitlements owing to a dismissed employee at the time of termination. In addition, we provide representation and counselling to employers regarding liability and responsibilities in employment related litigation, Ministry of Labour and Ontario Labour Relations Board matters.
We provide free consultations to dismissed employees and offer useful information regarding compensation, benefits, your rights and your responsibilities.
It is a fact that many employers do not provide a dismissed employee with all legal entitlements at the time of termination and only provide for the minimum required by law. If your employer dismisses you with cause, you will not be entitled to Employment Insurance. Our service takes the stress out of managing this process by applying in-depth knowledge of common-law entitlements, service to our client and accountability.
It’s not about the judgment or how much interest you’re owed - it’s about the principle. Consult with us today to ensure that you are being treated fairly following the termination of your employment. Paralegal representation will maximize what you recover in order to assist with your transition into alternative employment. We resolve matters by applying diplomacy through interest based negotiations before initiating any legal process, allowing you to focus on finding a new job or the training required to land the perfect job, while keeping you informed and preserving your rights.
Principle negotiates on your behalf and no upfront fees are required. Contingency fee payment is available in consideration of your financial restrictions - meaning legal fees are based on what we recover on your behalf. In the case that a court proceeding is necessary, a breakdown of disbursements required to be paid into court will be provided before proceeding and costs can later be recovered in your favour. Contact Principle Legal Services to consult with an Employment Compensation Specialist before signing anything to ensure your fair severance. It’s about the Principle.

Small Claims Monetary Limit Increases

The Ontario government has announced that as of January 2010, the monetary jurisdiction of the Small Claims Court will be increased from $10,000 to $25,000, exclusive of fees and interest awarded to a successful litigant.
Paralegals licensed under the Law Society of Upper Canada may represent terminated employees who wish to pursue Wrongful Dismissal claims in Ontario’s Small Claims Court and may obtain damages resulting from Wrongful Dismissal.
