Employment Issues

When a paycheque or a job disappears, the response must be fast and precise. We handle employment matters within our authorized scope: unpaid wages, Employment Standards complaints, wrongful dismissal claims up to $35,000, and workplace discrimination, with honest referrals beyond that line.

Scope of ServiceJGPC is authorized by the Law Society of Ontario to provide legal services, including legal advice and representation, in these practice areas, under Licence P12755.

How we help

  • Unpaid wages, overtime, vacation, and termination pay recovery
  • Employment Standards Act complaints through the Ministry of Labour
  • Wrongful dismissal claims up to $35,000 in Small Claims Court
  • Workplace discrimination and harassment applications at the HRTO
  • Demand letters that get employers' attention
  • Referral to employment counsel for complex severance and executive matters

Choose your track carefully

For the same unpaid wages you generally must choose between the Ministry of Labour route and the court route, not both. Picking the wrong track can cap your recovery, which is why we map it before anything is filed.

Why having someone act for you matters

Your employer has counsel and a process. You have a deadline and a shrinking bank balance. Choosing the wrong route can cap your recovery permanently, because for the same unpaid wages you generally must elect between a Ministry complaint and a court claim, not both. Human rights applications carry a one-year wall, and WSIB objections run in months, not years.

Common questions

My severance offer feels low. Can you review it?
Where the amounts in play fit within our authorized scope we advise directly, and where the package is larger or complex we refer you to trusted employment counsel, usually the smarter investment at higher values.
How long do I have to act?
Court claims generally carry a two-year limitation, and Ministry complaints have their own windows. Deadlines shrink fast; move early.
