  is an incredibly complex law.

• When facing harassment allegations
• Harassment in the workplace can come in different
  forms. But the most common is sexual harassment.
  Though you can fix workplace harassment easily
  within your organization, it is still better to
  seek advice from one of the best employment
  lawyers in Toronto to make sure that your
  decision and judgment regarding this matter does
  not violate any law.
• Make sure that you have clearly specified the
  procedures and policies in your handbook
  regarding harassment matters and that they are in

• When firing an employee
• The employees are protected by the law just like
  employers are. You cannot just fire an employee
  whenever you want to without sensible reasons.
  Make sure that when you fire an employee, you
  dont do it for illegal reasons.
• For instance, it is against the law to fire an
  employee who got pregnant after getting married.
  But you can fire someone who is AWOL or absent
  without official leave for a couple of days or
  weeks already or perhaps someone who came in late
  for three to five consecutive days already
  depending on your policy.

• When you need to understand complicated laws
• You might have a bit knowledge about the laws
  that govern your geography but you cant be a
  hundred percent sure that your understanding of
  the laws is accurate and correct. Employment
  lawyers in Toronto understand every single part
  of the laws that affect you.
• The law often contains a lot of legal terms that
  are quite confusing most especially to people who
  do not have an extensive background in employment
  law. The lawyers have studied all of these
  complicated and confusing legal terms, they are
  experts and they know them by heart. If you need
  to understand complicated laws, do not just turn
  to your secretary or to the head of the HR
  department. Chances are they also do not know
  these laws or terms in depth to the necessary
  level required.
