Government Worker Lawyers for Western Canada

We at Taylor Janis Workplace Law understand and appreciate how hard our public sector employees work for the people of Western Canada.

We also understand that not every Canadian government employee has a union to protect his or her employment rights when the government changes course. And not every union does a good job of supporting its members. In either case, you can turn to us to help get you through the tough times.

We are committed to helping Canadian government workers successfully navigate the following:

  • Dismissal and severance negotiation;
  • Constructive Dismissal or Changes to an Existing Term of Employment;
  • Discrimination in the Workplace;
  • Ensuring your union is properly representing your interests; and,
  • Employment contract review, advice, and direction.

If you are a Canada Government employee, please do not hesitate to contact us to schedule a one-on-one, confidential discussion about your rights and entitlements.

Taylor Janis Workplace Law has successfully represented several Western Canadian government employees with a particular focus on helping Alberta & BC Health Services employees at all levels of the organization. We can help you too!

Flexible Fee Arrangements

BEWARE of firms that push for contingency arrangements

IE: working for "no money up front"

This may NOT be beneficial for you. In some cases it may be much better for you pay hourly for an action with high monetary return — keeping much more in your pocket.

If it's free YOU could be the product! At Taylor Janis we give you the CHOICE.
