Employers will ofter claim the only amount they have to pay is what is set out in the Employment Standards Act. We have found that employees are often entitled to many times more than these amounts, especially if they have been long time, loyal employees.

Changing the working conditions or job description such that it amounts to wrongful dismissal (also called “constructive dismissal”). In such circumstances, the employee can often quit and sue for constructive dismissal. It is important to speak to a lawyer about whether or not the change in circumstances is such that you are justified in quitting then making a claim for constructive dismissal.
