The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the way we live and work.  Now, more than ever, employees work in a remote or hybrid work arrangement.  However, with this shift comes new and altered legal risks and challenges for employers.

Join us as we discuss:

1. Cross-Canada or International Relocation

• • Legal risks if a remote worker relocates, temporarily or permanently (which laws apply).
  • How to prevent or manage employee relocation issues.

2. Performance Management

• • Use of electronic monitoring to manage employee performance.
  • Discipline and termination for time theft and other remote work performance issues. 

3. Health and Safety

• • When will occupational health and safety and workers’ compensation legislation apply to a remote worker?
  • Bullying and harassment in an online workplace.

4. Employment Standards and Human Rights

• • How to ensure a remote worker complies with employment standards requirements (e.g., hours of work, meal breaks, etc.).
  • Remote or hybrid work as a form of human rights accommodation.
