I am the founder of Rudner Law. In 2016, 2017 and 2018, I was selected by my peers for inclusion in ‘The Best Lawyers in Canada’ in the area of Employment Law and have been repeatedly named in Canadian HR Reporter’s Employment Lawyers Directory (a comprehensive directory of the top employment law and immigration law practitioners in Canada), and was also named one of Canada’s top Legal Social Media Influencers.
The question that I ask today, and I will answer today, is whether, despite having that full and final release, a claim can be brought. And the simple answer is yes, there are circumstances where courts will allow someone to bring a claim even after they signed a full and final release.
The most common requirements for an employee to be eligible for severance pay is that the employer must have a payroll of at least $2.5 million, and the employee must have been employed for at least 5 years.
From the moment I stepped into the offices of Rudner Law I felt very at ease. I was warmly greeted by Janise. I than met with Brittany Taylor, one of the Employment Lawyers. I liked Brittany right away. She walked me through the process, explained how she could assist me. Brittany is knowledgeable, compassionate and took every possible step to ensure I got the results I deserved. Rudner Law exceeded my expectations.
As always, Stuart Rudner was most helpful when our company, Workplace Safety Group, required assistance for one of our clients recently. We have referred clients in the past and will never hesitate to do so in the future. Rudner Law is our go-to resource in all matters related to Employment Law.
Stuart and the lawyers at Rudner Law have helped many of my clients navigate the complex field of employment law. I often work in close conjunction with Stuart to help find solutions to workplace problems. I have no hesitation in recommending him wholeheartedly.
Stuart and the team at Rudner Law were simply outstanding to deal with and provided invaluable guidance and advice throughout the process to reach a very positive settlement. I would highly recommend Stuart to anyone facing a labour issue or settlement negotiation.
I have known Stuart Rudner for 10 years. During that time, we have developed both a personal and professional friendship. I have referred a number of my best clients to Stuart and they have been universally pleased with his services. Stuart is thorough, prompt and personable. I will continue to refer matters to Stuart and recommend him to others.
