Your employer offered you a new role or a new work location. Do you have to say yes? 🤔

In Ontario, there’s no single answer. It depends on your employment contract, the details of the change, and how much it affects your job. Saying yes too fast can cause problems. So can saying no too fast.

Swipe through to see:
➡️ What to check in your contract
➡️ When a change is significant (and when it may amount to constructive dismissal)
➡️ What to look at if the new location is farther away
➡️ What to do if you’re offered a different role after a layoff
➡️ The exact message to send before you decide

📌 Save this for when the offer lands.

Before you resign, refuse outright, or sign a new agreement, get the change reviewed.

Fired unfairly? Your final paycheck might not be the full story. ⚖️

Wrongful termination claims can involve lost salary, bonuses, benefits, additional damages, and even legal costs, depending on your case.

Knowing what you may be entitled to is the first step toward protecting your rights.

🎥 Watch to understand the 3 key types of compensation you should know about.

Think your employer can place you on a temporary layoff whenever they want?

Not necessarily.

Many employees are surprised to learn that unless their employment contract specifically allows for temporary layoffs, an employer may not have the right to impose one unilaterally.

In some cases, a temporary layoff can amount to constructive dismissal, meaning the law may treat it as a termination of employment, potentially triggering severance entitlements.

While Ontario's Employment Standards Act permits temporary layoffs in certain circumstances, that doesn't automatically give every employer the contractual right to use them.

The key question is often found in your employment agreement.

Before assuming you have no choice but to wait for a recall, review your contract and understand your rights.

🚩 Raised concerns at work and noticed a sudden change in how you’re treated?

If you speak up about unpaid wages, harassment, discrimination, or other unlawful workplace conduct, document what happens next.

📌 Save relevant emails and messages.
📌 Keep a timeline of incidents and conversations.
📌 Record dates, people involved, and what was said.
📌 Keep copies of relevant documents you’re authorized to access.

In Ontario, certain workplace complaints are protected by law, and evidence of what happened before and after a complaint can matter when assessing your rights.

Don’t rely on memory alone. Keep the facts organized.

⚖️ 3 things I’d never do at work as an Ontario employment lawyer.

1️⃣ Assume HR complaints are confidential. Your concerns may be shared with management, so understand how the process works before proceeding.

2️⃣ Resign under pressure. Being told to resign or face termination? Get legal advice before making a decision that could affect your rights.

3️⃣ Leave a termination meeting without asking questions.Get clarity, stay calm, and don’t feel pressured to sign a release immediately.

Your next move at work can matter. Know your rights before making a decision.

📩 Have questions about your employment situation? Get legal advice.

That severance offer might not be the full amount you’re entitled to. 👀

In Ontario, the ESA sets minimum entitlements—but you may qualify for more under common law.

Your potential reasonable notice entitlement can depend on your age, years of service, position, and the availability of comparable employment.

Before accepting the first offer, find out what you may actually be owed.

📩 Get legal advice before signing a release.

“Your bonus is cancelled.” Not so fast. 🚫

In Ontario, a bonus you’ve already earned, or would have earned during your notice period, may still be owed. Check the wording of your plan before you sign your release.

Just got fired and want to email HR to explain everything? Stop before you hit send.

You may be angry, frustrated, or feel like you need to defend yourself but an emotional email can sometimes create problems you didn't anticipate.

If your termination leads to a legal dispute, your communications with HR may become relevant.

Before sending that long message:

🛑 Pause
🧠 Think carefully about your words
📄 Preserve your records
⚖️ Consider getting legal advice first

You don't need to win the argument in an email. Protect your position first.

Should you quit your job, or is it actually better to be fired?

In many situations, being terminated without cause can place an employee in a stronger legal position than resigning.

Here’s why:

✔️ You may be entitled to notice, pay in lieu of notice, or statutory severance under the Employment Standards Act.

✔️ Depending on your circumstances, common-law entitlements may be significantly greater.

✔️ Being terminated without cause may affect eligibility for Employment Insurance differently than resigning.

✔️ If you resign, pursuing certain legal claims can become more difficult unless the situation amounts to constructive dismissal.

That’s why employees should think carefully before choosing to resign especially if the employer is encouraging it.

One decision can have a major impact on your rights and potential compensation.
