Your employer hasn’t paid your wages. What can you do? 💸

In Ontario, you don’t have to wait until you leave the job to take action. Employers must pay the wages due for each pay period, subject to lawful deductions.

Swipe through to see:
➡️ What counts as unpaid wages (more than just a missed paycheque)
➡️ How to put the missing pay in writing
➡️ ESA claim vs. court, and why the choice matters
➡️ The 2-year deadline (and why it doesn’t start when you leave)
➡️ When repeated non-payment may become constructive dismissal

📌 Save this if you’re waiting on pay, or send it to someone who is.

Before you resign or stop working over unpaid wages, get advice. Leaving without understanding your position can create another dispute.

Your fixed-term contract was ended early. Are you owed the rest of it?

It’s not automatic, and it’s not always a no. A lot depends on what your contract says about early termination, whether that clause is actually enforceable, and the reason you were given.

Swipe through to see:
→ What to look for in your early-termination clause
→ Why ending early isn’t the same as reaching the end date
→ When the remaining term could matter
→ What to gather before you accept any payment

Before you sign anything or take an offer, get your contract reviewed.

Fired "for cause"? Don't assume that means you're automatically entitled to nothing.

In Ontario, the legal standard for termination for cause is high. Serious misconduct may justify it, but poor performance, personality conflicts, or ordinary workplace mistakes don't automatically amount to cause.

If you've been terminated without cause, the bigger question becomes: how much severance are you actually entitled to?

Before accepting the first offer or signing a release, make sure you understand your rights.

⚖️ What does severance really mean when you’re fired?

In Ontario, your termination package may include more than the minimum required by the Employment Standards Act (ESA).

Depending on your employment contract and circumstances, you may also be entitled to common-law reasonable notice - which can mean significantly more compensation.

Before accepting an offer, understand these three things:

📌 Your entitlements:ESA minimums and potential common-law notice.

📌 Your release:Signing may limit your ability to pursue further claims.

📌 Your options: You may be able to negotiate a better package.

Don’t sign first and ask questions later. Understand your rights before making a decision.

📩 Consider speaking with an employment lawyer before signing your termination documents.

Your employer offered you a new role or a new work location. Do you have to say yes? 🤔

In Ontario, there’s no single answer. It depends on your employment contract, the details of the change, and how much it affects your job. Saying yes too fast can cause problems. So can saying no too fast.

Swipe through to see:
➡️ What to check in your contract
➡️ When a change is significant (and when it may amount to constructive dismissal)
➡️ What to look at if the new location is farther away
➡️ What to do if you’re offered a different role after a layoff
➡️ The exact message to send before you decide

📌 Save this for when the offer lands.

Before you resign, refuse outright, or sign a new agreement, get the change reviewed.

Fired unfairly? Your final paycheck might not be the full story. ⚖️

Wrongful termination claims can involve lost salary, bonuses, benefits, additional damages, and even legal costs, depending on your case.

Knowing what you may be entitled to is the first step toward protecting your rights.

New role? New location? Don’t answer yet. 🚦

Accepting or refusing too fast can both cause problems. Check your contract, ask for the terms in writing, and get the change reviewed before you respond.

Think your employer can place you on a temporary layoff whenever they want?

Not necessarily.

Many employees are surprised to learn that unless their employment contract specifically allows for temporary layoffs, an employer may not have the right to impose one unilaterally.

In some cases, a temporary layoff can amount to constructive dismissal, meaning the law may treat it as a termination of employment, potentially triggering severance entitlements.

While Ontario's Employment Standards Act permits temporary layoffs in certain circumstances, that doesn't automatically give every employer the contractual right to use them.

The key question is often found in your employment agreement.

Before assuming you have no choice but to wait for a recall, review your contract and understand your rights.

🚩 Raised concerns at work and noticed a sudden change in how you’re treated?

If you speak up about unpaid wages, harassment, discrimination, or other unlawful workplace conduct, document what happens next.

📌 Save relevant emails and messages.
📌 Keep a timeline of incidents and conversations.
📌 Record dates, people involved, and what was said.
📌 Keep copies of relevant documents you’re authorized to access.

In Ontario, certain workplace complaints are protected by law, and evidence of what happened before and after a complaint can matter when assessing your rights.

Don’t rely on memory alone. Keep the facts organized.

⚖️ 3 things I’d never do at work as an Ontario employment lawyer.

1️⃣ Assume HR complaints are confidential. Your concerns may be shared with management, so understand how the process works before proceeding.

2️⃣ Resign under pressure. Being told to resign or face termination? Get legal advice before making a decision that could affect your rights.

3️⃣ Leave a termination meeting without asking questions.Get clarity, stay calm, and don’t feel pressured to sign a release immediately.

Your next move at work can matter. Know your rights before making a decision.
