Healthcare, education, and manufacturing in the Kawarthas
Peterborough's economy is shaped by a regional healthcare centre, a significant manufacturing legacy, and a growing presence around Trent University. Healthcare and manufacturing employees here sometimes navigate overlapping obligations, institutional policy or a collective agreement alongside standard Employment Standards Act and common law protections.
Severance in a mixed regional economy
Whether you work in healthcare, manufacturing, or education in Peterborough, the same core question applies after a termination: is the offer in front of you what you're actually entitled to? We help Peterborough employees confirm their real entitlement before signing anything, and assist employers with compliance and workforce planning.
