Local Considerations: Working With a Vancouver/Kelowna Employment Lawyer

If you’ve been let go from your job or are an employer looking for advice on how to properly and legally terminate an employee with respect and fairness, we’re ready to help. We understand how the unique labour markets in Kelowna and Vancouver can impact key considerations related to the availability of various types of employment opportunities, with such knowledge generally being relevant to both an employee’s reasonable notice entitlement and their duty to mitigate (to search for comparable employment). Whether you are located in Vancouver or Kelowna, employment lawyer services need to factor in current job market conditions for your city.
