1. Our business is down. Can we just lay off some of our employees?
2. We have an employee who has been off sick for two months and won’t say when he is coming back to work. Can we treat him as having quit or abandoned his employment?
3. We want to change a few things in our pension plan / group health plan / long & short disability plan. Can we do this? How?
4. There have been a number of incidents of theft / property damage on our workplace. We’d like to install surveillance cameras. Can we?
5. What are our obligations toward an employee returning from maternity leave?What if the replacement employee is a better worker and I would prefer to keep him/her?
   What if the returning employee’s position does not exist any longer?
   What if there has been a reorganization of the workplace the returning employee’s position is now performed by three people in different departments?
