The price of penalties

Wrongful dismissal claims are becoming increasingly common. With new COVID-19 standards in place, employers are having a harder time staying compliant, ensuring their employees' rights to safe work, and legally dismissing staff.

Getting any of these wrong comes with a big price. Lawyer fees can be between $5,000 to $30,000 – and that’s if you win. Losing costs even more. Depending on how severe the dispute is, you could be ordered to pay out $50,000 to $100,000 per claim.

That means it could take just one claim to ruin your business. Few, if any, small businesses can afford this, let alone have the money on hand to fight the case.

The best way to avoid the worst

Claims can quickly spiral out of control. Health & safety investigations can turn into criminal prosecutions. Wrongful dismissals can become human rights claims landing you in front of a provincial human rights tribunal.

Both can cost you tens of thousands in legal fees and months of time. 

Avoiding all of this helps save your bottom line and ensures your business stays on the path to success. The peace of mind that comes from knowing everything you’ve built is safeguarded also lets you focus on what really matters – taking your business to the next level.
