Employment Law

Employment Law governs the rights and obligations between employees and their employer. The foundations of employment law arise from the common law in most provinces and the Civil Law of Quebec. The main obligations of the employer are to provide the work agreed to, pay the remuneration and provide a safe work place whilst the employee must execute the work agreed to and be loyal to the employer. The practice of employment law generally involves the negotiation and drafting of individual employment contracts, advice with respect to the numerous aspects of the main obligations, the drafting of non-solicitation and non-competition clauses, golden parachute compensation plans and arbitration clauses. In addition, it involves litigation arising from the employment relationship, including unlawful or wrongful dismissal actions, as well as the application of provincial and federal related statutes such as Labour Standards, Human Rights and Health and Safety in the workplace.
