What employment lawyers in Manitoba help with

Employment lawyers advise employees and employers on termination and severance, employment contracts, workplace rights and disputes.

Employment law in Manitoba: what to know

Manitoba's Limitation of Actions Act sets a basic two-year limitation period for most claims, with exceptions. Speak to a lawyer early so that a deadline does not run out.

Employment rights in Manitoba come from the Employment Standards Code and from your contract and the common law, so your entitlement may be more than the statutory minimum.

How to choose a employment lawyer in Manitoba

  1. Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the Law Society of Manitoba.
  2. Ask how much of their practice is employment, and how recent their experience is with cases like yours.
  3. Compare the Google rating together with the number of reviews, not the rating alone.
  4. Read recent reviews for comments on communication and responsiveness.
  5. Ask for the fee structure in writing before you sign, including what is billed separately.
  6. Meet with more than one firm if the matter is large, and trust the one that explains your options clearly.

Questions to ask at your first consultation

What to bring

How the process usually works

  1. You share your documents and the lawyer reviews them.
  2. They advise on your entitlements and the strength of your position.
  3. A response or counter-offer is prepared.
  4. The lawyer negotiates with your employer or their lawyer.
  5. If needed, a claim is filed.

Costs and fees

Some employment lawyers offer a free or low-cost first review of a severance offer, and some work for a percentage of any improvement. Ask before you commit. Ask about disbursements (third-party costs), taxes, and what happens if your matter changes in scope. Many firms offer a first consultation, but confirm whether it is free.
