Wrongful dismissal
You can file a claim for wrongful dismissal in Alberta by hiring an appropriate lawyer and making a claim for compensation from the ALRT. Under the Alberta Human Rights Act, an employee is entitled to file a complaint about their employment and reach a decision in a timely manner. In this article, we will discuss the process of filing a complaint and how it works.
If you have been working in Alberta for more than one year, the first thing that you should do is contact your employer. For an employee to work in Alberta, he or she must have a work agreement or contract with his or her employer. Before you contact your employer, make sure that he or she is aware of your rights under the Alberta Employers Liability Act and that your contract contains all the relevant provisions. If you feel that your employer has behaved in a way that constitutes negligence, you may have a case.
Once you have made contact with your employer, be sure to document all the events that took place so that you can present your case to the ALRT as soon as possible. A standard procedure followed by the ALRT is that you will be provided with a paper work detailing all the events that took place between you and your employer. All the relevant papers will then be processed by the ALRT lawyers. Once all the papers are received, the lawyers will process a court date to appear at the court so that they can make a decision on your claim. If your claim is accepted by the court, you may receive a check from the Alberta Labor Board while your case is still being pursued.
Wrongful dismissal – What is the Alberta Labour Code?
There are times when the company may dismiss your claim before it is even heard by the ALR. Even if your employer dismisses your case before it goes to court, you may still receive compensation from the ALR. This may be due to an error in calculation error. In such cases, it is best that you seek legal advice from your Alberta lawyer. A legal professional is able to advise you on the applicable laws, the process to follow if your claim is to proceed to court and the exact amount of compensation that you may receive if your case is resolved in this manner.
There is an additional type of protection provided by the ALR; this type of protection is referred to as a wage prescribed order. Prescribed wage orders are orders that are issued by the ALR after considering factors such as your age, the length of time you have worked at your work place, your earnings and your job duties. The prescribed wage order may not always be favourable to you, in some cases it may allow for lower compensation. For more information on this type of order please visit the Alberta Labour Board website. If you are wishing to file a claim with the ALR, it is important that you speak to a professional Alberta labour lawyer who can advise you on the various aspects of your claim.
As previously stated, the Alberta Labour Board’s main duty is to ensure that all of the rights that are set forth in the Canada Labour Act are not affected. Therefore, they cannot force you out of your workplace, they cannot expel someone from their employment, nor can they permanently ban someone from a work place. If you feel that your rights have been violated under any circumstance, it is vital that you speak to a qualified lawyer immediately. There are many lawyers who are specialized in representing the rights of the Canadian labour market and have experience winning cases for their clients who have suffered at the hands of the ALR. Therefore, if you have been affected by a contravention of the Canada Labour Act or if you believe you have been unfairly selected for a promotion or pay raise at work, you should not delay in getting in contact with an Alberta labour lawyer.
