SUMMARY:Tackling Workplace Impairment: Identifying causes\, addressing risks\, providing accommodation
DESCRIPTION:Speakers\n\n \nNorm Keith\nPartner\, Employment & Labour Law\, KPMG Law LLP\nKPMG in Canada \n\n\n \nKelly VanBuskirk\nPartner\nLawson Creamer Lawyers \n\n\n \nDan Demers\nDirector of Business Development\nCannAmm Occupational Testing Services \n\n\nTuesday\, October 8\, 2024Half-Day Virtual WorkshopUse of alcohol\, cannabis\, and illicit substances has increased significantly as Canadians cope with mental health challenges and social isolation. In this virtual workshop\, experts will discuss recent cases on drug and alcohol testing\, fitness-for-duty assessments\, suitable accommodations\, and disciplinary sanctions\, addressing: \n\nWhat constitutes reasonable cause to justify alcohol and drug testing? Can the mere fact that a worker smells of cannabis or alcohol justify administering a reasonable cause test?\nWhat are some recent examples of treatment or monitoring mechanisms that have been found to be violations of privacy rights or excessively intrusive?\nWhat do recent decisions tell us about the circumstances required to justify post-incident testing? What qualifies as a “significant” incident that would be sufficiently serious to warrant an invasive drug or alcohol test? How does this analysis apply in the case of a near-miss incident?\nWhat must an employer demonstrate aside from the risk of residual impairment in order to establish that accommodation in a safety-sensitive position or workplace would constitute undue hardship?\nDo recent cases provide guidance on how to conduct an individualized assessment to determine whether an employee is fit for duty?\nTo what extent will an employer be required to accommodate an employee who fails to disclose or denies having an issue with substance use?\nWhere do recent cases draw the line on accommodating relapses\, ruling that any further obligation to tolerate relapses would amount to undue hardship?\nOn what grounds have arbitrators recently overturned last-chance agreements\, ruling that a violation of their terms is not sufficient to establish undue hardship?\nWhat factors do adjudicators consider when determining appropriate disciplinary penalties for violations of workplace drug and alcohol policies?\n\nCPDCPD\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 3.1 Continuing Professional Development hours per session.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR BC & Yukon for 3.16 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved for Continuing Professional Development 3.1 hours per session under Category A of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Log of the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA).\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Nova Scotia for 3.1 Continuing Professional Development hours per session.\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of British Colombia for 3.1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of New Brunswick may consider this program for 3.1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nCPD for Members of the Law Society of Ontario: 3.1 Substantive Hours; 0 Professionalism Hours\, per session.\nMembers of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society may count this program for 3.1 Continuing Professional Development hours\, per session.\n\n\n\n\nAdditional InformationRegistration Fee – Single Attendee\nLive workshop\, video\, and MP3 bundle – $920Live workshop – $575Video and MP3 – $575 \n(Please note\, bundles are designed for a single attendee\, please contact Customer Service for multi-user pricing.
