Key Labour & Employment Law Considerations During a Pandemic

Presenter: Rob Olson, Thompson Dorfman Sweatman (TDS)

How to navigate through the disruptions of a pandemic — lay-offs, safety concerns, terminations, notice, Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB), Employment Insurance (EI), force majeure clauses, frustration of contract…and what to do when things get back to “normal”.

Attendee will learn the following:
1. How lay-offs work and what you can and cannot do.
2. What options are available under COVID-19 in terms of employees and operations.
3. What lessons can be learned from the pandemic.
