Protecting the Contractual Rights of Employees
An essential part of any assessment as to whether an employee is entitled to reasonable notice at common law will depend on whether the employee has signed an employment agreement or contract, and whether that agreement or contract is enforceable if it attempts to contract out of the employee's right to receive common law notice of termination, which would be decided by a judge in an Ontario court.
As employment agreements or contracts tend to favour the employer, an employee should obtain competent legal advice specializing in this area of the law before signing any employment agreement or contract which would affect his or her rights, either during the employment relationship or after it ends.
We provide a broad range of employment contracts services, including the drafting, negotiating and litigation of executive compensation contracts and severance packages.
