Ottawa 10.22.20 VIRTUAL Remote Discipline and Terminations (high-risk terminations)

Employee discipline and terminations are fraught with difficult legal and practical issues, particularly when they involve an employee who is entitled to parental leave, has a disability, or is potentially violent. The COVID-19 pandemic adds additional complications including new job-protected leaves of absence, changing layoff and recall rules, and the challenges of imposing discipline in a remote workplace. In this session you will examine the risks involved in high risk discipline and terminations and how you can minimize them, with a special focus on the remote work context.
