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:

Legal risks if a remote worker relocates, temporarily or permanently (which laws apply).
How to prevent or manage employee relocation issues.
Performance Management
Use of electronic monitoring to manage employee performance.
Discipline and termination for time theft and other remote work performance issues.

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.
UPCOMING CONFERENCES
Our firm presents several conferences throughout the year. Please check back for future offerings.
You are also welcome to join us at our HReview Breakfast Seminars held four times a year. See “HReview Breakfast Seminar” for more information.

Workshop Invitation- The Employment Standards Act- Common Pitfalls and New Obligations- February 2023
Half-Day Intensive Virtual Workshop
There were significant amendments to the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (the “ESA”) in 2022, including the new requirement for disconnect from work and electronic monitoring policies.

Ø Common ESA Pitfalls: Frequently breached provisions of the ESA (including vacation, hours of work, and overtime) and
how to stay compliant.
