Employment Law

COVID-19 related resources and information

Hamilton Community Legal Clinic offers employment law summary advice and representation to workers facing legal issues in their employment. These problems might have to do with:

• employment standards (like receiving minimum wage, overtime pay, and taking job protected leaves of absences)
• human rights (such as being discriminated against for your ethnic background or disability)
• being fired from your job.

Our goal is to provide information on rights and responsibilities, offer resources, and, when financially eligible, possibly provide representation to try to resolve the legal issue.
