Description

Please join labour and employment law lawyer Russell MacCrimmon of Bird Richard, for a discussion on how employers can manage COVID-19 in their workplaces. 

This presentation will provide details on the following: 

What is happening in Ontario with COVID-19 leave, Declared Emergency Leave, and the Worker Income Protection Benefit? 

Can an employer require proof of vaccination as a condition of employment? Can an employer dismiss or discipline an employee who refuses to get a vaccine? What impact has the pandemic had on wrongful dismissal claims in Ontario, including: 

If an employer has placed an employee on statutory COVID leave, can a constructive dismissal claim still be made? 

Have reasonable notice periods been increased by the Court due to the pandemic? 

Can an employer claim that any Canada Emergency Response Benefit collected by an employee be deducted from a reasonable notice award? 

You are invited to a Zoom meeting. 

When: September 24, 2021, at 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
