Did you know that mandatory retirement policies are now illegal in several provinces?

Are you familiar with Quebec's recent legislation regarding "psychological harassment" of employees?

Did you know there is strong legislation protecting whistleblowers, including federal criminal sanctions for taking actions against them?

Are you aware that privacy laws recently have been expanded across Canada, especially under federal law and in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta?

Did you know that severance pay is now required all across the country even when employees become totally disabled?

If you're a U.S. employer with operations in Canada, you HAVE to understand Canadian employment law and the new employment statutes. Problem is, it's tough enough to stay atop American law, much less another country's. Here's the solution:

"Operating in Canada: Dos and Don'ts for Employers in 2007"
90 minutes jam-packed with critical information for management

Make no mistake, employment law is changing in Canada faster than ever. Stay on top of it -- or face a host of compliance headaches. For example, recent cases have:

Increased employer liability for "hardball tactics" or "bad faith" when terminating employees;

Set new high-water marks for punitive damages in wrongful dismissal cases;

Allowed defamation claims to be joined with wrongful dismissal claims;

Increased use of class actions to pursue employment claims.

What you will learn in just 90 minutes:

The legal framework of Canada and its provinces
Canadian employment statutes and what they cover

Non-union employee rights, including wrongful dismissal claims and damages for "bad-faith" terminations.

Harassment -- sexual and "psychological" harassment, a term not used in American law

How union organizing laws in Canada are more pro-union than in the United States. Also, what happens to unions when businesses are bought and sold.

Government-sponsored insurance programs, for health, disability insurance, workers' compensation, and unemployment

And much, much more!

Who should attend
This audio seminar is for HR professionals, benefits managers, and frontline supervisors in any industry that currently operates or is considering operations in Canada.
