When legal advice may help

Do you need to make or respond to an employment decision?

Employment questions may concern contracts, pay, workplace rules, labour audits, discipline, termination or a dispute. The correct response depends on the employment record and the step already taken.

  • An employer needs an agreement, policy or disciplinary process reviewed.
  • An employee disputes pay, benefits, treatment or termination.
  • An enterprise must complete or respond to a labour audit.
  • A Labour Office, court or Social Security Fund issue has arisen.

Before an initial review

What should you prepare?

  • the appointment letter, policies and employment agreement;
  • pay slips, attendance and leave records;
  • warnings, explanations, termination letters or complaints; and
  • the date of the disputed act and any response deadline.

What happens after you contact the firm?

A lawyer reviews the employment record and identifies the applicable procedure, missing documents and available response. Drafting, negotiation or representation is scoped after that review.

What affects scope and fees?

Workforce size, record quality, number of employees, stage of the dispute and hearing or filing deadlines affect scope and fees. The firm confirms both after checking the documents.

What should you keep in mind?

A disciplinary or termination decision made without the required record and procedure may create avoidable disputes. Preserve attendance, pay and communication records before taking further action.
