Managing Tricky Termination Issues - February 16, 18, 23, 25

Half-Day Intensive Virtual Workshop

Every employment relationship comes to an end. Although termination of employment can trigger potential liability for an employer, liability can often be minimized or eliminated with planning and sound decision-making. This practical, half-day workshop provides participants with the knowledge and tools to handle some of the trickiest situations that can arise when terminating an employee. Using interactive learning and real life-scenarios, topics include:

• Just Cause: What constitutes “just cause” for termination? When will a violation of COVID-19 health and safety requirements constitute cause? 
• Statutory Leaves: Can an employee on a statutory leave ever be terminated? What special considerations apply? 
• Disability Leaves: When does a long-term disability leave end the employment relationship? What is an employee on disability leave owed if the employment relationship ends?
• Bad Faith: When will an employer be liable for damages for the manner of termination? What can an employer do to reduce this risk?
• Impact of COVID-19 on Termination Entitlements: Can a long-term reduction in hours or pay trigger a termination of employment? Could an employee be entitled to a longer notice period because of the economic impact of COVID-19?  

DATE and TIME: All workshops are from 9 a.m. – noon
