In most cases, no matter how unfair the dismissal is, a non-unionized employee does not have any prospect for reinstatement and the types of compensation available are subject to many restrictions.

However, there are statutory exceptions which on the right facts will entitle employees to reinstatement and additional forms of compensation on any of the following grounds:

	Parental Leave
	Human Rights - Unlawful Discrimination
	Unsafe Workplace
	Retaliation against employees for attempting to enforce minimum standards under the Employment Standards Act
	Obligation to workers injured in the workplace
	Reprisals due to unionizing activity
