yeah because that usually works out :rolleyes: ...have you ever even read one of these posts?

You will have 12 different conflicting opinions (that is the key word here), and everyone else will just tell him to contact a lawyer and not listen to people on a car forum.

Pisshhh '04
;)

OP: sorry i cant help you with a lawyer but you are on the right track...find one and take his advice. Contacting a lawyer about legal matters is not a waste of coin...it's what people do in situations like this. It never helps your case to post it on beyond...unless you need some mad CSI skills that is.

Can you PM me more information? I might be able to help you.

It would be a good read, but if you work for a big company you will almost be wasting your time. You will have to see if they use a risk management team.
Otherwise I would make an appointment with one of these, see if you have a case.

You might want to check with Alberta Employment Standards first. They will assign you a representative to seek arbitration first. I know because I've been taken to it as an employer before ;) They're down on 7th ave and 5th or 6th street.

I would say my company is fairly large but definately not a international company or anything. They definately do not have any risk management team. The owner has a lawyer that handles most of any issues that arise.

I don't think I would want to seek arbitration, as that would just get me the bare minimum compensation.

I was under the impression that most courts would side with the little guy as employers are more in postion to take advantage of the employee. So in turn you can actually sue for more than just the 2 or 3 weeks pay.

Interesting that your first post talks about wrongful dimissal but now you're talking about suing to get the most out of a former employer. BTW, arbitration would get you fare compensation, not the bare minimum as you put it. Good luck trying to sue for more than 2 weeks compensation. And where did you ever get the idea that the courts side with the little guy?

Just to clarify I was looking for a lawyer that delt with the wrongful dismissal subject. I'm still employed however I'm definately being pushed to leave the company.

I was reading this article when I figured I should talk to a lawyer.

Talk to someone here:

based on my conversations with them on a similar subject, I don't think they'll agree with all the points of the monster article. But good luck nonetheless.
