As the incoming Newsletter Editor for the OBA’s Labour & Employment Law Section, it is fitting that I submit an article of my own to kick off the 2024-25 term. This way, future contributors will have a standard by which to judge their own work before making me read it.
I am excited to use this space to provide excerpts from my latest tome, The Totally Not Fake Dictionary of Ontario Employment Law.
I am especially proud of this work, which aims to “tell it like it is." You will note that most entries contain multiple definitions drawn from real life. Pick the definition that you prefer depending on who your client is presently, and your deeply held biases.
The Dictionary will also be the indispensable guidebook for newer members of the employment law bar, while more mature readers will wish that it existed back in their day.
Author’s Note: the excerpt below is in alphabetical order, the arrangement of which took me far longer than the actual writing of the definitions. Enjoy!
