Employment and labour law never stand still, and this year is no exception. From legislative changes to a complex global environment (tariffs, etc.), Canadian employers have faced a steady stream of new compliance challenges.

Join us for our annual year in review webinar, where we’ll discuss what’s been keeping employers up at night, what’s on the horizon for 2026, and best practices going into the new year. Topics include:

1. What’s keeping employers up at night?

• Termination provisions: Is there such a thing as an enforceable one? We think so (and the courts might finally agree)!
• U.S. tariffs: Managing workforce adjustments and the work-sharing program.
• AI in the workplace: Opportunities and risk.
• Return-to-office mandates: Employer rights.

2. Heading into 2026

• Pay transparency and job posting rules in Ontario’s Working for Workers acts and beyond.
• Cross-Canada increases in minimum wage and statutory leave entitlements.
• New limits on sick notes in multiple provinces.
• Increased fines and administrative penalties.
• Inter-provincial labour mobility legislation.
• Digital platform worker legislation now in force in Ontario and British Columbia.
