Better understand Canadian employment laws and feel more confident in your ability to navigate employment issues that arise.
Why can't we just fire everyone? Can we get a strong non-compete? Aren't they considered at-will? Can we cut someone's pay? We have to do what?
These are just a few of the many questions that American employers frequently ask their Canadian lawyers. This presentation will answer all of these questions, as well as many more that you are sure to encounter if you have any employees working in Canada. You will learn the basics of Canadian labour and employment law and gain practical information that will immediately improve your ability to deal with a wide range of employment issues. By the end of the webinar, you will likely have a better understanding of Canadian employment law than most Canadians. Attendees will leave the presentation feeling more confident in their ability to navigate employment and human rights issues that arise north of the border, and will have the opportunity to further develop cultural competency skills.
