One of Toronto's most diverse workforces
Scarborough is home to one of the most diverse workforces in the country, with large healthcare, retail, and logistics employers alongside a significant number of newcomers to Canada starting or continuing their careers here. Employees who are new to the Canadian workplace aren't always aware of the protections available to them on termination, which can make it easier for an employer's first offer to go unquestioned.
Severance advice for a diverse workforce
We regularly help Scarborough employees, including many navigating the Canadian employment law system for the first time, understand what they're actually entitled to after a termination. Whether you've worked in healthcare, retail, warehousing, or another field, the same Employment Standards Act minimums and common law notice principles apply, regardless of where your career began.

Scarborough FAQs
Common questions from Scarborough clients.
Practical, Ontario-law guidance for employees and employers in Scarborough.
Your employment rights in Ontario do not depend on how long you've lived in Canada. You're entitled to the same Employment Standards Act protections and, in most cases, common law notice, as any other employee.
Usually not. The statutory minimum is a floor, not a fair estimate of your common law entitlement, which is often considerably higher for non-unionized employees.
Yes. We offer secure virtual consultations so Scarborough clients can get experienced employment law advice conveniently.
