This session provides HR professionals with essential insights into three critical areas of employment management: conducting legally sound workplace investigations, understanding and avoiding the repudiation of employment contracts, and staying current with the evolving Employment Standards Act. Participants will explore legal frameworks, practical strategies, and recent case law to better manage workplace risks and compliance. The session will examine where investigative shortfalls can lead to employer liability, how employers can inadvertently breach employment contracts, and what new obligations under the ESA mean for day-to-day HR practices.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Key considerations and tips for conducting legally effective workplace investigations.
