Every employment relationship involves a contract. If the contract is verbal, the relationship will be governed by the Employment Standards Act and common law. Without a written contact there may be uncertainty and disagreement about the terms of the contract. This can lead to bad feelings or costly disputes. Having a written contract with all employees is good business practice. I can assist you in developing templates that you can adapt yourself for new employees or customized contracts for specific employees and assist you in dealing with difficult employer-employee situations, including disabilities and terminations. If you are being hired for a new position and have been given an employment contract to sign, I can review it for you and help you negotiate appropriate changes. If your employment is being terminated, I can review your termination package and advise you on whether it is reasonable or help you negotiate a better deal. I have many years of experience in advising both employers and employees on employment issues and preparing staff contracts.
