Before you call about employment dispute

General guidance for this kind of matter, not advice about your situation and not specific to this firm.

Questions worth asking

• Do I have two years of continuous service, and does section 124 protection apply to me?
• Am I inside the 45-day complaint deadline?
• Is reinstatement realistic here, or is compensation the better goal?
• Do you offer a fixed-fee first review?

How this work is usually billed

Fixed-fee initial reviews are common. A CNESST complaint is generally more affordable than a civil suit, and some steps in that process do not require representation at all.

What to have ready

Your contract, the termination letter, pay statements, your exact start date, and the date you were told.
