About Us

Discover and Defend Your Rights.

EmployerQuestions.ca was created by employment law firm Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. Our lawyers and paralegals are some of the most experienced and peer respected legal experts in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta where labour and employment law is concerned. We work with employers and employees on an array of workplace issues, including but not limited to severance pay negotiations, termination without cause, wrongful dismissal, termination for cause, constructive dismissal, workplace harassment and discrimination, human rights violations, employment contracts, independent contractor misclassification, temporary layoffs and more.

We strongly believe in access to justice. Basic legal information regarding workplace issues and disputes should be easy to access. That is the reason that this website was created.

You want proven advice that you can rely on. Samfiru Tumarkin LLP’s seasoned Toronto employment lawyers, Vancouver employment lawyers, Ottawa employment lawyers and Calgary employment lawyers rely on their years of experience to fight for your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.

Consultations for Terminations

Whether you were let go from your job without cause or terminated for cause, you deserve to know your rights and how much severance pay you may be owed.

Samfiru Tumarkin LLP offers consultations to individuals who have been let go, or are experiencing issues with their employer. Before you accept the termination or sign off on a severance package, contact our firm to get answers and full compensation.

Severance Pay Calculator

Our firm was co-founded by Lior Samfiru, one of the country’s top labour and employment lawyers. In 2013, Lior created the original Severance Pay Calculator app. The calculator has been used by over one million people in Ontario, BC and Alberta to discover how much severance pay in Ontario, severance pay in B.C. and severance pay in Alberta they are owed when they lose or are let go from their job.
