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;
What you will learn in just 90 minutes:
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
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.
