Employment & Labour Standards

Many employees opt to commence statutory proceedings against their employers, as an alternative to litigation. Employment standards proceedings are governed by strict rules of procedure and timelines and employers are well advised to seek legal assistance before responding to an employee’s application or attempting to represent themselves at a hearing.

Turnpenney Milne LLP has represented its clients and defended complaints for:

• notice and severance pay
• overtime
• vacation pay and wages
• public holiday pay
• reprisals
• pregnancy and parental leave

We have significant experience appearing before Employment Standards officers and the Ontario Labour Relations Board on Applications for Review.
