Employment law & AI support - what others ask

How can I get free help with employment law?
arrow-down
Several options exist for free employment law assistance in Canada. Provincial Employment Standards offices provide free information and complaint filing services, human rights commissions offer guidance on discrimination issues, and some lawyers provide free initial consultations. Legal aid organisations may also provide assistance. LawConnect's AI assistant offers immediate, free information about Canadian employment law to help you understand your situation before deciding if you need professional legal advice.
What rights do employees have in Canada?
arrow-down
Canadian employees have rights under both federal and provincial legislation, including minimum notice of termination or pay in lieu, minimum wage and overtime protections, vacation pay entitlements, protection from discrimination based on prohibited grounds, workplace safety protections, and Employment Insurance benefits eligibility. Rights vary between federally regulated employees (under the Canada Labour Code) and provincially regulated employees. Our AI assistant can explain how these rights apply to your specific situation.
Can I be fired without warning?
arrow-down
In Canada, employers can terminate employees without cause but must provide reasonable notice or pay in lieu of notice. The amount depends on factors like length of service, age, position, and availability of similar employment. Termination for just cause (serious misconduct) doesn't require notice, but the threshold is high. Employment contracts may specify notice periods, but cannot provide less than statutory minimums. Our legal chat assistant can help you understand whether your termination was handled properly.
What counts as discrimination at work?
arrow-down
Workplace discrimination occurs when you're treated unfavorably because of prohibited grounds under human rights legislation, including race, colour, religion, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, and others (specific grounds vary by jurisdiction). This includes direct discrimination, systemic discrimination, harassment, and reprisal. The AI assistant can explain these concepts and help you identify whether treatment you've experienced might constitute discrimination.
Does LawConnect's AI give legal advice?
arrow-down
The AI assistant provides general legal information to help you understand Canadian employment law topics, but it cannot provide personalized legal advice specific to your individual circumstances. It explains legal principles, rights, and procedures to help you understand your position. If you require tailoured legal advice, we can connect you with an experienced employment law lawyer.
Is LawConnect really free to use?
arrow-down
Yes, using our AI legal assistant is completely free of charge. You can ask questions, receive information, and explore your options without any costs whatsoever. There are no hidden charges, subscription fees, or obligations. We believe in making employment law information more accessible, particularly when you're beginning to navigate workplace issues.
Can I use this if I'm an employer too?
arrow-down
Absolutely. Our AI assistant helps both employees and employers understand their rights and obligations under Canadian employment law. Employers can get information about proper termination procedures, discrimination prevention, employment standards compliance, and adherence to human rights legislation. The assistant provides balanced information relevant to your role in the employment relationship.
Will my information be kept private?
arrow-down
Your privacy is paramount, and conversations with LawConnect's AI assistant remain private and confidential. Information you provide is used solely to help answer your questions and will not be shared without your explicit consent. You can explore your employment law options safely and securely.
What happens if I want to talk to a real lawyer?
arrow-down

You maintain complete control over whether and when to engage professional services, with no obligations attached to using our AI assistant or receiving lawyer referrals.
