For Employees

For Employees

Have you recently lost your job? Or are you about to start a new one? In either case, you likely have questions about your rights and options: Was my employer entitled to fire me? What do they owe me? What do their pension and benefit plans mean for me?

Kent Employment Law understands employees and the things that matter to them. We can help you answer these questions, and many others.
We advise on:

  • Wrongful dismissal, disability and human rights claims
  • Employment standards issues
  • Employee stock options and other incentive plans
  • Pension and benefit matters
  • Canada Labour Code issues
  • And much more

For many employees, particularly those who have been recently terminated, the process of enforcing their legal rights can be overwhelming – even scary. We take our role as your guides in this process very seriously, and do everything we can to reduce your stress and eliminate your fears.

However, we also ask something of our employee clients – we ask, first, for their understanding that the legal process can last months, not weeks, and second, that they have the patience and fortitude to see their case through to its rightful conclusion. We believe that employees who display these qualities have the greatest chance of success.
