Wrongful Dismissal & Severance Pay – Know Your Rights
Wrongful dismissal occurs when an employer terminates an employee without just cause or fails to provide adequate severance pay. In Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Cochrane, Lethbridge, and surrounding areas, many workers are unaware of their full severance entitlements under Alberta employment law and common law principles.
At TZ Law, we:
✅ Review severance packages to ensure they are fair and compliant
✅ Help employees file wrongful dismissal claims to recover unpaid compensation
✅ Advocate for maximum severance pay based on factors like job tenure, age, and industry conditions
If you have been laid off or fired, do not sign anything before speaking to an employment lawyer in Calgary.
Constructive Dismissal – When Your Job Changes Without Consent
If your employer significantly changes your job responsibilities, salary, or work conditions without your agreement, you may have a constructive dismissal case. This is common in fast-growing Alberta cities like Red Deer, Chestermere, and Medicine Hat, where employers may restructure without following labour laws.
Our employment lawyers will assess whether you can claim compensation for lost wages, severance, or damages.
Workplace Harassment & Discrimination Lawyers in Calgary
Every employee in Alberta has the right to work in a safe and respectful environment. Workplace harassment, bullying, and discrimination based on:
- Gender
- Age
- Race or ethnicity
- Disability
- Pregnancy or parental leave
- Sexual orientation
…are serious legal violations. We help employees in Calgary, Okotoks, Airdrie, Lethbridge, and beyond take legal action against discriminatory employers.
Non-Competition & Non-Solicitation Agreements – Protecting Your Career
Many Alberta employers require employees to sign restrictive covenants that limit their ability to work for competitors after leaving a job. However, not all non-compete clauses are legally enforceable.
If you are in a dispute over a non-competition or non-solicitation agreement, we will:
✔️ Review your employment contract
✔️ Determine if the restrictions are legally valid
✔️ Defend your right to seek new job opportunities
Your Employee Rights Under Alberta Employment Law
As a worker in Alberta, you are protected by:
- The Alberta Employment Standards Code, which sets minimum wage, overtime, and termination notice rules
- Human Rights legislation, which prohibits discrimination in hiring and employment
- Common law, which provides additional protections in wrongful dismissal cases
At TZ Law, we ensure you receive full compensation and fair treatment under Alberta’s employment laws.
