  • the termination of employees;
  • compensation;

  • disciplinary issues;
  • workplace conflict;
  • drug testing;
  • privacy;
  • drafting contracts, exit agreements, offer and termination letters;
  • workplace/OH&S policies;

  • workplace benefits;
  • ensuring compliance with employment standards legislation.

We help employers deal with difficult situations at work, including conflicts over being fired or terminating an employee.
