What are Paralegal Services?
Paralegal services in Ontario provide clients with access to legal services and representation on a number of legal matters. The Law Society of Ontario is the regulatory body for Licensed Paralegals who are trained professionals delivering legal services that meet the high standards expected throughout the legal profession.
At Enable Legal Services, we focus exclusively on employment law. This approach enables us to provide our clients with tailored solutions focused on compliance and designed to address the challenges that are unique to Ontario workplaces. Our Paralegals are experienced in working with Human Resources and employment law, both of which are key qualities for navigating the complexities of employment relationships.
Whether you are seeking advice, facing a legal issue, or looking to avoid potential liability, our services are designed to help and can be tailored to your budget.
Employment Law in Ontario: Complex, Technical, and Always Changing
Employment law in Ontario is one of the most challenging and fast-paced areas of law. Every aspect of the employment relationship is subject to legal objections from job postings, onboarding, conduct to terminations under Ontario laws, including but not limited to:
- The Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA)
- The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA)
- The Ontario Human Rights Code
- Workplace Safety Insurance Act
Each law introduces its own framework of rights, responsibilities, and procedures. These frameworks fall under the jurisdiction of various administrative bodies and tribunals. For clients, this means a single misstep, whether procedural, policy-based, or due to unclear documentation, can quickly escalate into a legal issue resulting in potential liability.
Common Legal Triggers in the Workplace
- Wrongful dismissal claims are one of the highest areas of potential liability for employers. An employment agreement that does not meet legal standards or failure to provide reasonable notice may result in significantly higher reasonable notice being awarded by courts, in addition to litigation costs.
- When an employer makes unilateral and significant changes to job duties or compensation that can result in constructive dismissal.
- When an employer fails to respond appropriately to harassment or discrimination, that can lead to a Human Rights complaint.
- Failure to implement good business practices related to vacation or overtime, that can lead to non-compliance with the Employment Standards Actof Ontario.
Because employment law is not static, remaining compliant means remaining up to date on new rules and how to apply them to evolving situations. With legal precedent and tribunal decisions constantly shaping how laws are applied, it is critical to have someone who specializes in this area of law to interpret the landscape accurately.
