Additional Information
Job offer letters and employment contracts allow employers to spell out specific terms and conditions to apply to the employment relationship. Among the advantages of using formal employment agreements is the ability to reduce or limit employee entitlements at the time of dismissal. However, to be effective, contracts must be carefully drafted: careless use of “boilerplate” contract templates can impair or completely undermine the validity of such documents.
Whether on their own or as part of a comprehensive employment agreement, restrictive covenants can also help employers establish certain obligations and restrictions that survive the termination of the employment relationship. But restrictive covenants are effective only if they are carefully prepared with a firm understanding of how courts view these special types of agreements – views that are constantly evolving as such matters are continually litigated in today’s challenging economic and competitive environment.
At Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, we draft offer letters, contracts of employment and other agreements which are clear and concise, and which will meet your organization’s specific needs while complying with all applicable statutes and legal requirements.
Product and Services
Concerns over privacy have grown more prominent over time, and in recent years we have seen the introduction of various privacy-oriented statutes. While the application of such legislation varies from workplace to workplace, sooner or later most employers must contend with privacy-related challenges.
Privacy issues may arise in various contexts, including e-mail and internet usage, video surveillance, medical information, employee background checks, and so on. With regards to unionized workplaces, some arbitrators recognize a free-standing right of privacy, while others find jurisdiction to adjudicate privacy-related grievances in the provisions of a collective agreement.
Where legislated requirements apply, there may be a requirement to establish privacy-related policies and procedures, and this may be good practice for any employer, whether subject to statutory regulation or not. An effective privacy policy is a statement of principles and guidelines concerning the protection, handling, use, storage and disposal of personal information of customers and other individuals. At Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, we have experience in reviewing and drafting privacy policies to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and principles. A proper privacy policy can significantly reduce liability for companies as a result of improper disclosure of information.
