I am a free lance sign Language Interpreter who was dismissed with out cause by Ontario Interpreting Services a branch of the Canadian Hearing Society. I have already sent a demand letter through another lawyer who tried to prove that I was an in fact an employee not a free lancer. While I do think this is true, we failed the first round, with the reply stating I was free lance and then allegations (unfounded and undocumented) about my performance. It must be noted that a year ago, I started a competing business with them. All I want is to file a wrongful dismissal claim with them so that I can get my OIS status back (screening one has to take upon graduation) What would be my next steps and can you help me?

Thank you for the question. This seems like a fairly complex situation and we would need more information before providing you with a legal opinion. Give us a call at the number below to set up a confidential consultation with one of our experienced employment lawyers.
