Why Ontario Clients Come to Us
Employment law in Ontario is complex. The Employment Standards Act sets minimum floors — but common law often entitles employees to far more than the minimum. On the employer side, one poorly handled termination or an unenforceable contract clause can result in significant liability.
At JC Paralegal Services, we review every case thoroughly, explain your options clearly, and pursue the best possible outcome — whether that is a negotiated settlement, a Ministry of Labour claim, or a Small Claims Court proceeding.
Jolanta is licensed by the Law Society of Ontario (Licence No. P20100) and brings real courtroom experience to every employment dispute — for employees and employers alike.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to make a claim after being fired?
For Ministry of Labour complaints, generally 2 years from the date of the violation. For Small Claims Court, 2 years from the date you knew about the loss. Do not wait — evidence disappears and deadlines are firm.
Can a paralegal handle my employment case?
Yes. Licensed paralegals in Ontario can represent clients in Small Claims Court for employment disputes up to $50,000 and before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO).
