Wrongful dismissal occurs when an employer terminates an employee without just cause or without providing reasonable notice or pay in lieu of notice as required by employment contracts, collective agreements, or employment standards legislation. An employment litigation lawyer from DLegal can assess the circumstances surrounding the termination, review employment contracts, and help determine if the dismissal was wrongful. They can assist in pursuing compensation for lost wages, benefits, and other damages resulting from the wrongful dismissal.

Constructive dismissal refers to situations where an employer makes significant changes to an employee’s working conditions, such as demotion, reduced compensation, or an intolerable work environment, which effectively forces the employee to resign. An employment litigation lawyer can evaluate the changes and circumstances to determine if they meet the legal threshold for constructive dismissal. They provide expert advice and can assist in filing a claim for constructive dismissal and seeking compensation for the employee’s losses.

Employment discrimination involves treating employees or job applicants unfavourably based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation. An employment litigation lawyer can help individuals who have experienced discrimination navigate the legal process. They can assist in gathering evidence, filing complaints with human rights commissions or tribunals, and pursuing remedies for discrimination, such as compensation, reinstatement, or changes in workplace policies.

Breach of employment agreements occurs when either an employer or an employee fails to fulfil the terms and conditions outlined in the employment contract. This can include issues such as non-payment of wages, denial of benefits, unilateral changes to terms of employment, or failure to provide agreed-upon working conditions. An employment litigation lawyer who specialises in Alberta labour law can review the employment contract, assess the breach, provide expert advice and help the affected party pursue legal action to enforce the terms of the contract and seek appropriate remedies.

Employment standards legislation sets out minimum standards for working conditions, such as hours of work, overtime, vacation pay, and minimum wage. When an employer fails to comply with these standards, it can lead to violations and potential legal action. An employment litigation lawyer can assist employees in pursuing claims for unpaid wages, vacation pay, overtime, or other entitlements mandated by employment standards legislation.

Human rights violations occur when an employee experiences discrimination, workplace harassment, or a violation of their human rights in the workplace. This can include actions based on protected characteristics, such as race, gender, disability, or religion.
