Half-Day Intensive Virtual Workshop

With a two dose summer within reach for most adult Canadians, many employers have begun to plan for “return to work”. The good news is no two workplaces are exactly alike and there is considerable flexibility in how a workplace decides to proceed. On the other hand, it is important to be aware of the legal, practical and financial parameters that may shape the decisions made.

Using interactive learning and real-life scenarios, this half-day workshop examines the following topics:

1. COVID-19 Vaccination
   • Mandating vaccination as a condition of employment.
     
   • Who wants to know? Disclosing vaccination status to other employees or members of the public.
   • Vaccination incentive programs.
   • Vaccination policies.
2. Leave and Accommodation
   • Family status: what to consider when in-person learning resumes.
   • Return to work considerations for employees currently on leave.
   • Accommodation of mental conditions related to, or exacerbated by, the pandemic.
3. Work-Reintegration
   • The employment agreement and workplace policies: considerations for a flexible work arrangement.
   • Health and safety.
   • Employee conflict related to personal opinions on COVID-19-related issues.
