Employment Lawyer Mississauga
Employment Law in Mississauga, Know Your Rights Before You Sign
Mississauga is home to one of Ontario's most productive and diverse workforces, hundreds of thousands of Peel Region workers in industries ranging from financial services and technology to logistics, manufacturing, life sciences, and retail. When those workers are terminated, harassed, or denied their employment rights, our Mississauga employment lawyers are here to help.
The most common call we receive from Mississauga clients is on the day of termination, when a client has been handed a package and asked to sign a release. The most important advice we can give every Mississauga worker: do not sign anything until you have spoken with an employment lawyer. The release you sign is permanent. The package you were offered is almost never the full amount you are owed.
Our Mississauga employment office at 90 Matheson Boulevard West serves workers across Peel Region, from Mississauga's financial district and airport corridor to the logistics parks of Brampton and the growing residential communities of Caledon. We offer same-day consultations for dismissed workers and clear, practical advice on what to do next.
Mississauga workers have the same rights as Toronto workers under the Employment Standards Act, the Ontario Human Rights Code, and the common law. Distance from Bay Street does not reduce your entitlement. It just means you need a Mississauga lawyer who will fight for the full amount, not accept whatever was offered.

Workplace Rights, Mississauga
Workplace Harassment and Human Rights, Mississauga
Mississauga workers who have experienced harassment, discrimination, or human rights violations at work have rights under both the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Occupational Health and Safety Act's workplace violence and harassment provisions.

Employment Contract Review, Mississauga
Employment Agreement Review, Mississauga
Before starting a new job or signing an amended contract in Mississauga, have an employment lawyer review it. Employment agreements frequently contain clauses that limit your common law entitlement on termination, sometimes dramatically. We identify problematic clauses, advise on whether they are enforceable, and recommend amendments before you sign.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which court handles employment claims in Mississauga?
Employment claims for Mississauga workers above the Small Claims limit are filed in Ontario Superior Court, Peel at 7755 Hurontario Street in Brampton. Claims up to $35,000 can be brought in Small Claims Court. Our Mississauga office at 90 Matheson Boulevard West is 20 minutes from the Peel courthouse.
I was terminated by my Mississauga employer today. What should I do first?
Do not sign the release. Call us. We offer same-day consultations for dismissed Mississauga workers. Bring the termination letter and package to the consultation, or share it with us digitally beforehand. We will tell you within the first consultation what you should have been offered and what your realistic options are.
Does it matter that my employer is in Mississauga and not downtown Toronto?
Not for your legal rights. The Employment Standards Act and common law apply equally to all Ontario workers. The location of your employer does not reduce your entitlement. It may affect which court your matter proceeds in, Peel Superior Court rather than Toronto, but the legal standards are identical.
Can I make a human rights complaint and a wrongful dismissal claim at the same time?
Yes, with some procedural complexity. You can bring a human rights claim to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario and a wrongful dismissal claim in civil court simultaneously, but you cannot recover damages for the same loss twice. We advise clients on the best combination of remedies for their specific situation.
My employer in Mississauga said my termination clause in my contract limits me to 4 weeks. Is that true?
Termination clauses in employment agreements frequently fail to comply with the Employment Standards Act and are therefore unenforceable, meaning you fall back on full common law reasonable notice. We analyze every termination clause carefully. Many clauses that appear to limit your rights are, in fact, void.
Do you serve Brampton workers from your Mississauga office?
Yes. Our Mississauga office at 90 Matheson Boulevard West serves all of Peel Region, including Brampton. Peel employment court is in Brampton, and our Mississauga office is approximately 20 minutes from the courthouse.
Every case is unique. These anonymized examples illustrate the types of results our team has achieved. Past outcomes do not guarantee future results.
Wrongful Dismissal
Wrongful Dismissal — 24-Month Notice Period
Negotiated $285,000 severance for senior manager after 18 years
A long-tenured senior manager was terminated without cause with an offer of just 8 weeks' pay. Our analysis of the Bardal factors — age (54), tenure (18 years), character of employment, and re-employment prospects — supported a 22-24 month reasonable notice period. Through aggressive pre-litigation negotiation, we secured 22 months' compensation plus benefits continuation.
$285K Settlement
Constructive Dismissal
Constructive Dismissal — Toxic Workplace
Court awarded 20 months' pay plus $50,000 in damages
Our client endured systematic role reduction, reporting structure changes, and a hostile work environment. We established constructive dismissal under the framework in Potter v. New Brunswick, proving fundamental breach of the employment contract. The court awarded full reasonable notice plus moral and punitive damages.
