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
How long do I have to file with the HRTO?
Generally within one year of the last incident, with limited exceptions for delay incurred in good faith. Treat the one-year mark as a hard wall and start earlier.
What can the Tribunal actually order?
Monetary compensation, including for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, plus non-monetary remedies such as reinstatement or policy changes, depending on the case.
