Our Simple Process

Require employers to provide all employee-related personnel and payroll records
: Investigation Stage
After receiving all employment records from the employer, the attorney will review all relevant documents pertaining to the employee to determine whether the employer has been in violation of labour laws.
: Issue Claim
If the employer does violate labor laws, we will prepare and send the claims to the employer or their attorney
: Settlement and Proceedings
You may receive a settlement offer during your claims process, which you can accept or reject. If both parties cannot reconcile, the employee may pursue their claims through the Department of Labor or through legal proceedings.
Workplace Retaliation:
Many workers may feel afraid to report violations of employment law or other illegal activities in fear of how their employer may react. Reporting incidents of harassment, discrimination, fraud, deceptive business practices, violations of health and safety regulations, or anything else implicating the business to either the business itself or to government authorities is a protected act. Even so, some companies will still retaliate against workers who blow the whistle. When this happens, affected workers can pursue the business in court for lost wages, psychological stress, and emotional stress. Punitive damages punishing the business could also be awarded to workers who experience retaliation.
Retaliation can also occur after a work injury. Injured workers have the legal right to pursue a workers’ compensation claim. It is illegal for employers to terminate or harass any worker for reporting an on the the job injury. If you believe you have suffered any form of retaliation while pursuing a workers’ comp claim, be sure to inform your case file manager.
