If you have already determined how much you are owed and it is less than $25,000, you can use the Ontario Small Claims court as a means to begin the process of collecting your money. If you file a Plaintiff’s Claim in the Ontario Small Claims court then your former employer will have 20 days to file a defence. If your former employer files a defence, you will have to attend a Pre-Trial/settlement conference at the Ontario Small Claims court. This conference will be mediated by a judge, referee or deputy judge. Here you and your former employer can discuss the issues and many Ontario Small Claims court matters are actually settled at this stage. If you determine that you are going to represent yourself in your actions, you can use EasyCourt to create your Ontario Small Claims court Plaintiff’s claim and other required documents.
