Manufacturing and a growing local economy
Brantford's economy is built on a manufacturing base alongside a growing logistics sector and an expanding post-secondary presence. As the city grows, more employees are working for businesses that have not always had the benefit of legal advice when setting up employment contracts, which often means those contracts don't hold up when tested.
When your contract does not protect what it promises
We regularly review Brantford employment contracts with drafting problems that make the termination clause unenforceable: missing statutory language, unclear layoff terms, or provisions that attempt to contract out of the Employment Standards Act. When that happens, the employee is generally entitled to common law notice instead, which is often significantly more than the contract promised.
