Frequently Asked Questions
Employment Lawyer for Employers.
A lawyer can help you do many things that will not only improve the work environment for your employees, but also directly improve your bottom line. Here are some of the ways a lawyer can help you:
1. Review your employment agreements and revise or draft new ones where necessary to comply with ever-evolving laws
2. Advise you around hiring a new employee, including drafting employment agreements and onboarding
3. Advise you around accommodating employees, including returning them to work, and the obligations you both have throughout the process
4. Advise and assist you when issues with employees arise, including progressive discipline, compliance with the Employment Standards Act, 2000, the Human Rights Code and the Occupational Health and Safety Act
5. Advise and assist you with terminating employees with and without cause, including drafting termination documents and releases, and advising you on termination and severance package offers
6. Conduct workplace investigations when you are faced with a complaint of harassment or discrimination in the workplace
7. Defend claims made against you for wrongful and constructive dismissal, and violations of the Employment Standards Act, 2000, the Human Rights Code, and the Occupational Health and Safety Act
It is a good idea to consult a lawyer before providing employees with any legal documents, discipline, or deciding to hire or fire an employee. Similarly, it is a good idea to speak with a lawyer when you are faced with an employee’s request for accommodation or to return to work after a statutory leave.
It is best to speak with a lawyer before you take steps with respect to your employees that could impact their, or your, legal rights and obligations. This will help you avoid costly mistakes and litigation. Of course, if you are served with a claim, complaint or application, it is important to reach out to a lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you respond effectively to the claim, mitigate potential damages and resolve the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Big firm experience, small firm attention.
Dealing with challenges at work can be among the most stressful periods of your life. You don't have to do it alone. When you partner with Kompa Law you get the employment and human rights law expertise you would expect from a large firm with the personal touch of a sole practitioner.
From beginning to end Sam was kind caring and compassionate. She covered everything I needed to know and I always felt like her number one client. She is an excellent lawyer whose genuine sole purpose is to help you. I'm so glad it was her number I called and and would recommend her in a heartbeat.
When you enter a legal battle it’s very intimidating. What I found with Sam is a calm and directive approach, explaining each and every step along the way, from the time she spent with me to the end result. I would with zero hesitation recommend her, and will always appreciate how she helped.
This was my first ever time using an Employment Lawyer and Samantha was simply AMAZING!!! She helped me every step of the way and was totally trusting and reasonable. She worked hard answering all my questions and gave me thorough information on all my options. What a great experience.
