YYC Employment Law Group Provides Legal Help to Negotiate Fair Severance Pkgs.
With Calgary’s economy still suffering, YYCEmploymentLawGrp.com is here to help those who have lost their job acquire a fair severance package
Calgary,, Alberta – September 19, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —
While the politicians and pundits in Calgary, Alberta may try to convince the general public that the economy has recovered, the fact is – it is still suffering, with no real end or significant change in sight. According to Alberta-based ATB’s Financial Economics & Research Team (“ATB”), the official unemployment rate for the City is oscillating between seven and eight percent, which is significantly higher than the national average. What isn’t broadcasted is the “underemployment” rate, which is generally held to be much higher.
According to ATB, Alberta’s August jobs numbers were the best of 2018 and “highest since December 2017” with 11,000 new full-time positions added. However, with approximately 22,000 full-time jobs lost in July alone, August’s net new full-time job growth is only half of what was already lost in July alone, as ATB points out.
What’s critical to note is the fact that Alberta’s economic engine, the energy-sector, experienced another net decline of 2,100 full-time positions in August. This is an issue that is continuing to plague the City of Calgary and its labour market, requiring the help of a skilled Calgary-based employment lawyer.
“We have seen professional engineers working as couriers and professional geologists working at big box stores selling computers, just to name a few of the issues present,” stated Stephen Dugandzic, an Employment lawyer at YYC Employment Law Group in Calgary. “While our goal isn’t to sound “doom and gloom” about jobs and the local economy, the fact is that Calgary-based employees facing terminations or layoffs need to ensure they are prepared for the likely and lengthy wait for a new, reasonable job opportunity.”
This is the key issue that requires the help of skilled Employment Law specialists in the Calgary market. The dedicated lawyers at YYC Employment Law Group provide significant value for employees. They understand the practical issues facing the local workforce and can provide the legal assistance necessary to ensure former employers offer fair severance packages.
“Our team is dedicated to helping employees negotiate a fair and reasonable severance package,” continued Dugandzic. “We never want to see someone stuck with receiving the statutory minimums set out under Provincial legislation that many employers are now leaving their people with. Our team is here to serve the people of Calgary in ensuring they get what is owed to them.”
