In Ontario, employees are entitled to reasonable notice or pay in lieu thereof if they are terminated. However, this entitlement presupposes that one is an employee.

    • I had the pleasure of working with Andrew & his team and I could not be more thankful for having them represent me during a very trying time. They were very knowledgeable and helped guide me thru the entire process. Going thru any legal issue can be very emotionally draining but knowing I had Andrew on my side def helped ease my anxiety. In the end, Andrew was able to win my dispute and I owe it all to his attention to detail and wealth of knowledge.

    • Robert Tarantino and his associates at Wray Legal handled my case against my former employer with compassion, ethically sound expert advice in plain language and professional courtesy during my termination process, a stressful event in any working person's life. I was presented with all potential courses of action during my initial meeting prior to making a decision to retain services, and was treated with respect and dignity every step of the way. Wray Legal was able to mediate an acceptable settlement without having to proceed with a formal human rights violation compliant at the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal. Thank you Robert, Andrew and Samantha.

    • We contracted with Robert Tarantino of Wray Legal to do a respectful workplaces presentation to our organization. This was part of a follow up to a StressAssess.ca survey we had done with all of our staff. Robert’s presentation included: Introduction; Overview – Why ‘Respectful Workplaces’ is an Important Topic; What is a Respectful Workplace?; Occupational Health and Safety Act – workplace harassment; Human Rights Code – discrimination in employment; Fostering a Healthy and Respectful Workplace; and Q & A – Discussion. The presentation was extremely well done, very engaging and included excellent examples. Robert did an excellent job and I would highly recommend his services.

    • I am grateful to have worked with Andrew Wray on a Third Party Claim that was filed against me. While we arrived at a very amicable conclusion, it was a rather complex route to get there. Andrew was extremely patient with both me and the other party. His legal advice was insightful and he always acted in an extremely professional manner. I asked a lot of questions regarding law and process and Andrew always took the time to ensure that I was comfortable with both. I really had the feeling that he was actually working for me and looking out for my best interests. I would have no reservations about contacting Andrew again for help, nor would I have any reservations in recommending him to a friend or colleague. Many thanks!!

    • Andrew Wray came highly recommended and now I know why! Andrew took a personal and very supportive approach as he helped to guide me through a long and challenging labour hearing process that had already cost me too many sleepless nights. His demonstrated understanding of the complex legal and procedural issues gave me a tremendous confidence. Having never previously testified or given evidence, his advice on what I could expect on the stand was worth its weight in gold. I was kepy completely in the loop with regard to strategies and next steps, and was always made to feel like I was steering the ship - with Andrew as my formidable engine. Oh, and by the way, we won the case! :)
