At OLS, we are a boutique law firm specialized in labour and employment law. For over 75
years, we have provided expert legal advice to Executives, Managers and Employers in the
areas of labour and employment law. Labour and Employment Law has changed significantly
over time and has become a very complex and highly specialized area. One question we are
often asked is as follows:
I’ve been let go. What do I do now?
A job dismissal is one of the most emotional and terrifying legal problems, right after
family and criminal problems. However, being let go does not mean that you are out of options;
a lot will depend on the circumstances of your dismissal.
Often, you will have the right to significant severance payments, assistance in finding
a new job or reinstatement. A lot depends on the reason why your employer is letting
you go and what your employer is offering you. While being let go may feel like the
end of your career and feel as though nothing will ever be the same, the truth is that it
is rarely the end or ruin of your career. Usually, things can be arranged so that you
are not left in a weak or vulnerable position.
We recommend in cases of executive dismissal that our clients come to see us as soon as
they learn that that they are being let go. Furthermore, we highly recommend that our
clients do not sign anything before seeing us. We are able to help our clients understand
their rights, understand their options and to help them obtain the best result possible.
We pride ourselves on our ability to give our clients excellent advice. This ensures
that they get the best possible compensation from their former employers and that they
are able to move forward confidently in their careers.
If you have been let go from your executive or management position, give us a call today
at (514)845-0141 so we can speak to you in confidence about your particular situation.
