Toronto, ON - August 6, 2025 – Ontario is one of the most challenging environments for employers and employees, due to the numerous laws governing employment. Most businesses are unfamiliar with the laws, resulting in costly wrongful dismissal claims. Thus, it is prudent to understand the laws to ensure operational success. At Hyde HR Law, they understand the complex regulatory landscape that defines Ontario workplaces and are well-equipped to act as advisors on all labour and employment issues encountered by employers.Answering a query, the company spokesperson said, "There are cases where employers are allowed to extend the probation period if necessary to continue assessing a worker's suitability. However, employers should ensure that the employment contract expressly states that the probationary period can be extended. If not, extending the probationary period without such provision could be considered a constructive dismissal."
To limit wrongful dismissal liability, the attorneys at Hyde HR Law help employers draft employment contracts as well as workplace policies that hold up to scrutiny before the courts. Also, they assist employers in preparing and delivering workplace training to their employees on issues like harassment, discrimination and bullying. Such training has been a highly effective and proactive tool that has often allowed employers to avoid costly litigation in the future. In addition, they also assist their clients in guiding their human resource personnel through the process of drafting legally sound agreements and policies by providing ongoing oversight and support.
The company spokesperson added, "When it comes to termination, doing so during the probationary period can typically be less complex than terminating a full-time employee, because it usually does not attract notice or any in lieu of notice obligations. However, employers need to ensure that they are complying with the terms of the employment contract and the ESA. For more insights, clients can contact us. "
