The commonly held belief is that, unless there has been some serious employment-related incident, such as workplace harassment or sexual or racial discrimination, if you quit your job, you are walking away with nothing. Naturally, your employer would like you to believe that, and for those employees working in the United States, that might well be the case, however, our focus is on Canadian employees. And when it comes to Canadian employees who are looking to quit their job, or have already quit their job, they need to forget everything they thought they knew about quitting their job. Because the number of Canadian employees that quit their job and are owed a significant amount of money from their former employer is absolutely staggering, with mountains of supporting evidence readily accessible.
However, it would appear that no one has seriously put in the time or effort to investigate these legal aspects, such that the situation has only gotten worse for Canadian employees over the past 25 years. That is until the legal work and research that we have undertaken in the past few years, which builds off of some excellent legal work from other knowledgeable lawyers, together with hundreds of hours of our own legal research and investigation that pieced together some very shocking information about quitting one’s job in Canada.
Now these are serious legal matters, involving serious money that is legally due to employees quitting, resigning or otherwise leaving their job, which is happening across Canada and involving many, if not most, of the largest employers in the country. However, its impact varies from company to company and from province to province, such that companies might have 10%, 20%, 50%, 75% or 100% of their employees impacted, with there being further variances from province to province, such that a greater percentage of employees working in Alberta are impacted than employees working in Ontario.
Yet, without reviewing the specifics of your personal employment situation, we cannot tell you whether or not you are impacted and owed money from your former employer when you quit your job, however, we have identified some powerful indicators that would suggest a very strong likelihood that you are owed serious money.
Our approach, however, is not for everyone. When we take on an employment case, we pursue it very aggressively, such that we don't pull our punches with your former employer. As such, for those individuals who simply want to move on, even if it means leaving behind a considerable amount of money, we are probably not the right legal team. For everyone else, especially those who were employed by larger companies (who think they are so strong and powerful to be beyond reproach), that meet our internal criteria for aggressive employment litigation, we have a unique legal approach that you should seriously consider.
