Speakers
In this webinar, expert panelists will address noteworthy cases, cross-country trends, and legislative and policy developments of the past year relating to workers’ compensation. The webinar will address questions such as:
- When will misconduct by a worker, such as drinking and driving in the course of work, cause the worker to be ineligible for compensation for related injuries?
- When will a contractor or subcontractor be considered a “worker” of the contracting company such that they are eligible for benefits and barred from pursuing civil claims relating to workplace injuries? What factors and policy considerations may the court or adjudicator take into account?
- What privacy protections apply to personal information about a worker received by an employer through a workers’ compensation claim?
- What lessons can be learned from recent court and tribunal decisions addressing coverage for chronic or traumatic mental stress? What evidence is required?
- What noteworthy legislative or policy changes have been implemented in the past year? For example:
- What is required by the “duty to cooperate” and “duty to maintain employment”, recently introduced in British Columbia?
- In which provinces are “gig workers” covered under workers’ compensation legislation?
- What changes have recently been implemented relating to coverage for psychological injuries sustained in the workplace and related evidentiary requirements?
Topics will be finalized in the weeks prior to the webinar, ensuring coverage of the latest and most important developments.
