Don’t Sign an Employment Contract Immediately

Considering a job at Axium? Like many non-unionized employees in the province, you may be asked to accept an employment contract before starting a new role.

However, you don’t have to sign anything right away. These agreements often reduce your legal protections — especially when it comes to severance pay, job duties, or workplace changes.

Concerning Contract Clauses

When reviewing an employment contract, look for any provisions that:

• Limit severance to just a few weeks’ pay
• Allow your employer to make significant changes to your job without your consent
• An Ontario probation period that affect your job security

If you’re unsure about any part of the agreement, contact the experienced employment lawyers at Samfiru Turmarkin LLP. We’ll review your contract and confirm that your workplace rights are protected.

How Switching Jobs Affects Severance

The amount of severance pay you’re owed is heavily influenced by how long you’ve worked for a company.

Non-unionized employees in Ontario can receive up to 24 months’ pay — sometimes more — when they’re fired or let go without cause.

However, if you resign voluntarily to work for another employer, you’re likely NOT entitled to any compensation.

Your best course of action before switching jobs is to seek legal advice. Our firm can make sure you’re fully aware of the factors at play before making your decision.

Recruited Then Let Go? You May Be Owed More Severance

In Ontario, if you left a stable, long-term job because another employer actively recruited — or “induced” — you to join them, you could be entitled to enhanced severance pay. This is especially true if you were let go shortly after making the move.
