3. Try to get legal advice
Question & Answer
Can I be fired without any notice?If you're fired, it's a good idea to get legal advice.
A lawyer or paralegal with experience in employment law can help by giving you advice about:
- any rights you may have to from your employer
- what you should do to protect your rights
- whether you should file a claim with the Ministry of Labour or go to court
- what other rights you may have
The Law Society Referral Service can give you the name of a lawyer or paralegal you can consult with for free, for up to 30 minutes.
JusticeNet is a program for Canadians with low or moderate incomes. It connects people with lawyers and paralegals who charge lower legal fees based on your income.
There are community legal clinics across Ontario that provide free legal services to people with low incomes. Some clinics help people with work-related problems. And if a clinic can't help you, they may be able to refer you to someone in your community who can.
