Worried about getting sued as an employer?
Join Pamela Connolly, CPHR for a free legal workshop at Community Futures North Okanagan as part of Small Business Week.
Navigating employment law can be complex, and a single misstep can lead to costly and time-consuming legal disputes.
This free workshop is designed to help you proactively manage common workplace issues and reduce the risk of litigation.
In this practical session, you'll learn:
✅ Key ESA Entitlements You Can't Afford to Miss: Get a clear understanding of fundamental employee rights under the Employment Standards Act (ESA) to ensure your practices are compliant.
✅ Accommodating Medical Needs: Learn the ins and outs of your duty to accommodate and how to effectively manage employee medical needs while respecting privacy and legal obligations.
✅ Managing Internal Conflict: Discover why and when it's crucial to address internal disputes, and how to handle them gracefully before they escalate into larger issues.
✅ Saying Goodbye with Grace: Master the art of respectful terminations. We'll cover everything from preparing proper severance packages to understanding the expectations for employer conduct both during and after an employee's departure.
