Employment Mediation

Employment Law

When employers and employees have grievances that the HR department has not been able to resolve, either party may decide to litigate the issue under the variety of legislation that exists for the protection of both parties. But did you know that in Toronto, employment claims are required by law to first go through mediation? In fact, a negligible percentage of cases actually proceed to court. Most are settled before, during or after mediation.

The benefits of mediation in employment grievances are not only that time and expense for both the employer and employee are greatly reduced, but also that the public disclosure associated with trials is avoided. At TriMediate, we successfully employ negotiating strategies to diffuse seemingly inconsequential issues within the workplace that would otherwise become fair game for litigation.
