Labour and Employment

In non-unionized workplaces, our lawyers represent both employees and employers in a broad range of matters including:

• contracts of employment
• contracts for independent contractors
• advising on reorganizations and downsizing
• negotiating severance packages
• wrongful dismissal and constructive dismissal lawsuits
• Human Rights Code cases
• Saskatchewan Employment Act issues

In unionized workplaces, our lawyers act as arbitrators in both “rights” and “interest” arbitrations. We also often serve as mediators and conciliators in labour-management disputes. In those areas where there is no conflict with our role as arbitrators, our lawyers represent employers and employer organizations in education matters, municipal matters and in construction industry labour relations.
