Successfully Representing Employees in Burlington, Ontario

Despite laws to protect employees, inequality and discrimination in the workplace still exist. Workers are sometimes compensated unfairly or treated unjustly because of their age, race, sex, religion, colour, disability, or other traits. This may include violations like not receiving overtime pay, being denied promotions, benefits, unequal pay, or other job privileges. Sometimes, employment is denied outright, or wrongful termination occurs.

If you think that you have been the victim of wage and labour violations or employment discrimination, you may be eligible for compensation. An employment lawyer in Burlington may be able to assist you in recovering damages.

Our Burlington employment lawyers advocate for equality and employee rights and have assisted in class action and impact litigation to address systemic discrimination. Contact our legal team today at 416 622-4357 to learn more about how Zaylaw can help with your employment lawsuit.

Types of Employment Rights Violations

 

Types of Employment Rights Violations - Zayouna Law Firm

 

Many employees believe that their employer is familiar with and regularly follows labour and employment regulations. In reality, many corporations violate employee rights on a daily basis. While some businesses do this on purpose, others make mistakes. In any case, if they disobey the law, they are engaging in criminal behaviour, and their motives are irrelevant.

Finally, it is the worker’s responsibility to guarantee their rights are not violated. Here are some frequent workplace abuses of employees’ rights:

Non-payment of the minimum wage

 

Failure to maintain a secure working environment

 

Keeping incorrect records

 

Employee misclassification

 

Presence Discrimination

 

Employee speech restrictions

 

Retaliation against persons who register complaints about unethical behaviour

 

Sexual harassment by employers or coworkers

 

Termination on unjustified grounds

 

Are you an employer? Zayouna Law Firm has represented businesses and supported human resource professionals in dealing with a wide range of employment difficulties. Request a consultation.

Zaylaw Employment Law: Our Practice Areas

Discrimination matters

 

Zaylaw Employment Law - Zayouna Law Firm

 

In Burlington, discrimination based on national origin, race, gender,  age, pregnancy, family responsibilities, disability, and other factors is treated very seriously. It can harm your job application, working conditions, remuneration, or promotion opportunities, and it can even get you fired.

It is critical to assert your rights if you are subjected to job discrimination. Our employment attorneys in Burlington can assist you with this.

Whistleblowing & Retaliation

 

Whistleblowing Retaliation - Zayouna Law Firm

 

Employers are not allowed by law to retaliate against whistleblowers who report wrongdoing or bring a claim against them for any other reason.

A whistleblower might be fired, demoted, suspended, threatened, or harassed by their company. If you have been retaliated against, our Burlington employment lawyers will tell you of your legal options both before and after you file a complaint.

Proof to Win An Employment Discrimination Case

 

Employment Discrimination Case - Zayouna Law Firm

 

If you bring a claim for employment discrimination, you must show that your employer treated you unfairly since you are a member of a protected class. Race, ethnicity, sex, gender, age, and religious convictions are all examples of this. The majority of job discrimination claims are established by circumstantial evidence demonstrating that the plaintiff was a protected class member and that the basis the employer used to terminate or deny their worker’s rights was just a pretext for discrimination.

Our legal team is committed to providing high-quality, cost-effective employment law services. Call us at 416 622-4357 for a free consultation.
