Hello – Goodbye:
Best Practices When Hiring and Managing Departures
One of the by-products of the COVID-19 pandemic has been seismic movement in workplace talent. Studies suggest between 25-40% of workers will look to leave their jobs as the pandemic subsides. As a result, employers will need to address two issues simultaneously: the recruitment of new talent and protection of the business from departing employees.
Join us as we discuss:
- Recruitment and Hiring
- Risks associated with ‘poaching’ an employee from an existing job.
- Can an employer consider a candidate’s social media profile in the hiring process?
- How to address COVID-19 vaccination.
- Considerations if hiring into a work-from-home (remote)/hybrid arrangement.
- Key employment terms to introduce at the hiring stage.
- Departing Employees
- Duties owed by a departing employee.
- Restrictive covenants and other key employment agreement terms.
- Ending employment during an employee’s resignation notice period.
- Can an employee who quits due to a COVID-19 related work requirement (vaccination, remote work etc.) successfully claim constructive dismissal?
UPCOMING CONFERENCES

THE DUTY TO ACCOMMODATE AND COVID-19
Half-Day Intensive Virtual Workshop
As Canadian employers implement vaccination and return to work policies, many face new and challenging requests for accommodation based on disability, religious and family status grounds. In these unprecedented times, understanding when the duty to accommodate is triggered and how far it extends can be challenging for an employer.
This practical, half-day workshop provides participants with the knowledge and tools to assess and respond to a request for COVID-19 related accommodation in the workplace.
Using interactive learning and real life-scenarios, topics include:
- The Duty to Accommodate: An Overview
- When is the duty to accommodate triggered?
- Factors that establish undue hardship.
- The employee’s role in the accommodation process.
- COVID-19 Vaccination and Accommodation
- What is the threshold to establish a medical or religious exemption to vaccination?
- Strategies to respond to a request for medical or religious exemption to vaccination.
- Undue hardship in the context of COVID-19 vaccination.
- Work-From-Home Accommodation
- When is an employee entitled to a work-from-home arrangement as a means of accommodation?
- Strategies to respond to and address requests for work-from-home arrangements.
