Tim Stodalka · Partner · Employment · Regina
2398 Scarth Street, Regina, SK S4P 2J7
Partner whose practice is mainly family law — divorce and separation, parenting, support and property — and who also handles personal injury claims and general civil litigation. The firm acts for people injured in accidents and for people treated unfairly by an employer, and also covers home purchases and sales, and wills and estates.
Samuel I. Schonhoffer · Partner · Employment · Regina
1914 Hamilton Street, Suite 700, Regina, SK S4P 3N6
Partner with a labour and employment law practice that represents trade unions and individual workers in non-unionized workplaces. The firm's services for employees include wrongful dismissal actions, human rights proceedings and negotiating severance packages, and it also covers family law, and wills and estates.
Wrongful dismissal and severance, unpaid wages, workplace harassment and human rights at work. Most Saskatchewan workers are covered by the province's employment standards; banks, airlines, telecoms and other federally regulated employers come under the Canada Labour Code instead.
A complaint about unpaid wages must be made to Employment Standards within 12 months of the last day the wages were payable. A human rights complaint must be made within one year of the incident. A court claim, including wrongful dismissal, must be started within two years from the day the claim is discovered. If your employer is federally regulated (a bank, airline or telecom company, for example), an unjust dismissal complaint under the Canada Labour Code must be filed within 90 days.
The minimum written notice (or pay instead) is one week if you have worked there for more than 13 weeks, two weeks after one year, four weeks after three years, six weeks after five years and eight weeks after ten years. Unless your contract validly limits you to those minimums, a court may award more based on your age, role, length of service and how long it should take to find similar work.
Employment standards complaints go to Saskatchewan's Employment Standards office and discrimination complaints to the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission. Lawsuits up to $50,000 can go to the Provincial Court's small claims court, and larger claims to the Court of King's Bench — for Regina, see the court list on our Regina page.
To practise law in Saskatchewan a lawyer must be a member of the Law Society of Saskatchewan. You can look up any lawyer in the Law Society's public directory, which shows where they practise and has a discipline column; the Law Society also publishes its discipline decisions. Each lawyer on these pages was checked in that directory before being listed, but people move firms, so check again before you hire. Concerns about a lawyer go to the Law Society.
