Wong Employment Law

Frequently asked questions

I was let go from my job in Toronto. Can Wong Employment Law tell me if my severance package is fair?

Yes, reviewing severance offers is a core part of the practice. The firm's own severance guide walks through the employment contract's termination clause first, since that clause can set entitlements from day one, and then Employment Standards Act minimums and common law reasonable notice if the contract doesn't hold up.

I work for a bank or a telecommunications company. Do I have different termination rights than other Ontario employees?

You might. Wong Employment Law represents federally regulated employees, whose jobs are governed by the Canada Labour Code rather than Ontario's Employment Standards Act. The firm notes that these employees generally can't be terminated without cause the way other Ontario workers can, and may be entitled to reinstatement rather than just a severance payment.

My employer gave me a contract to sign. Should a lawyer look at it first?

Wong Employment Law offers employment contract review. The firm's guidance is that termination clauses are set at the start of employment and shape what happens later if the job ends, so reviewing the wording before signing, not after termination, is when it matters most.

Can Wong Employment Law help with a discrimination or workplace vaccine policy issue?

Human rights matters are part of the practice, including complaints before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. Founder Jason Wong was interviewed by the Canadian Bar Association's National Magazine on how employers should approach mandatory vaccine policies and employee accommodation requests.

Does Wong Employment Law only represent employees, or does it also act for employers?

Both. The firm advises employees on dismissal, severance, and harassment claims, and also advises employers on contracts, policies, and terminations for cause.

Where is Wong Employment Law located and how do I reach the firm?

The office is at 65 Queen Street West, Suite 615, in downtown Toronto, near Queen subway station. The firm can be reached by phone or email, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
