Website Review: Glennwheeler.ca
Glennwheeler.ca, recently relaunched, is fresh, clean, and easy to navigate. Toronto-based lawyer Glenn Wheeler aims to provide comprehensive legal information on the topics of employment and labour law.
Unlike many firms in town that tend to side with either the management or the union, Mr. Wheeler provides accessible information for all. For example, the FAQ section of the site is divided into categories, including non-unionized employees, unionized employees, independent contractors, and employers - something for everyone.
For those who are interested in new developments of the law, Mr. Wheeler’s blog is a good read. In his latest post, “Employment contracts not the same as other contracts,” Mr. Wheeler explains that the courts and the legislature have high expectation of employers who are expected to treat employees fairly and sensitively. Perhaps most importantly, employers should not manufacture reasons to fire an employee to avoid the cost of notice pay.
For the even more curious, Mr. Wheeler provides external links to relevant sites under Beginner’s Resources, such as the Employment Standards Information Centre and the Ontario Labour Relations Board.
Comprehensive and to-the-point, Glennwheeler.ca is a place to inform yourself on labour and employment law before you talk to a lawyer.
