Employment Law

Next to family relationships the most important relationship in anyone's life is their employment relationship. For employers, the success of any business depends in large part on hiring and keeping good people.

At Kidston & Company LLP we recognize the importance of the employment relationship. We also know that the needs of both employers and employees are evolving.

We are here to assist with the foundation of a good employment relationship and can provide advice with respect to, and draft, employment agreements as well as independent contractor service agreements.

Our lawyers are here to help guide you through the challenges that can develop day to day from advising you on Employment Standards issues to helping you develop workable policies for dealing with difficult areas such as developing policies around your duty to accommodate a sick or injured employee.

All good things come to an end so we are here to help both employers properly discipline and dismiss problem employees. We also represent workers whom have been dismissed to ensure that they have been treated fairly in accordance with the law.

We have experience in resolving all types of employment disputes. Most are resolved through negotiation but when necessary we represent clients at hearings both before the Employment Standards Board and all levels of the courts.
