Employers are now facing a higher degree of accountability for failing to address misconduct in the workplace\, while employees are also facing harsher consequences for engaging in bullying and harassing behaviour. In this webinar\, leading experts will discuss the impact of key employment and labour decisions involving claims of discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Topics to be addressed include: \n\nWhen do employers have a legal obligation to address bullying and harassment in the workplace?\nWhat proactive steps can employers take to create a safe and respectful work environment?\nWhich forum is more likely to address bullying and harassment and in what circumstances?\nWhen will arbitrators\, tribunals\, or courts find that employers have met their duty to protect the health and safety of their employees? What consequences may employers face if they fail to meet this duty?\nWhen do interpersonal conflicts or management styles rise to the threshold of “bullying and harassment”? Are subjective perceptions and intentions\, personality traits\, and/or workplace culture relevant?\nWhat evidentiary burden does an employee have to meet to make out a claim before an arbitrator\, tribunal\, or court for alleging bullying and harassment in the workplace?\nWhat remedies are available to employees who have experienced discrimination and harassment in the workplace?\nWhat factors do arbitrators\, tribunals\, and/or courts consider when assessing the appropriate penalty for harassing behaviour?\nCan an employer discipline an employee for bullying and harassment that occurred outside the workplace?\nWhat are the implications of recognizing harassment as a tort\, e. a civil cause of action\, as Alberta has done?\n\nAccreditationCPD\n\n\nThis program has been approved for Continuing Professional Development 1.5 hours 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 BC & Yukon for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of British Columbia for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of Ontario may consider counting this program for 1.5 Substantive hours; 0 Professionalism hours.\nMembers of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society may count this program for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of New Brunswick may consider this program for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.

SUMMARY:Lancaster’s Workplace Essentials: Understanding the scope and limits of management rights
DESCRIPTION:Moderator\n\n \nSara Slinn\nArbitrator and Mediator\nSara Slinn Mediation/Arbitration \nAssociate Professor\nOsgoode Hall Law School\nYork University \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n \nAllie Laurent\nEmployer Counsel\nMcLennan Ross \n\n\n \nCaitlin Meggs\nUnion Counsel\nVictory Square Law Office \n\n\nWhenever management makes a workplace decision that is not specifically addressed by the collective agreement\, the question arises whether this action is a valid exercise of management rights. In this installment of Lancaster’s Workplace Essentials webinar series\, expert panelists will examine recent case law and key principles relating to management rights. Topics to be address include: \n\nIn the absence of collective agreement language\, is an employer in a unionized workplace required to exercise its right to manage in a fashion that is reasonable and fair\, and to act honestly and in good faith?\nHow has the duty of good faith and honest performance been applied?\nWhere the collective agreement confers discretion on an employer\, must the employer use this discretion reasonably? What test must employers meet when they introduce a unilateral rule or workplace policy?\nIn what circumstances will an arbitrator find that employers have exercised their discretionary management rights properly? Improperly? What kinds of remedies may an arbitrator order in these circumstances?\nHow have the foregoing principles been applied in recent caselaw dealing with drug and alcohol testing\, attendance management\, and electronic monitoring?\n\nAccreditationCPD\n\n\nThis program has been approved for Continuing Professional Development 1.5 hours 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 BC & Yukon for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of British Columbia for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of Ontario may consider counting this program for 1.5 Substantive hours; 0 Professionalism hours.\nMembers of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society may count this program for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of New Brunswick may consider this program for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.
