When early should these objections be raised?\nWhat types of documents are protected by solicitor-client privilege\, labour relations privilege\, or privacy laws?\nWhat mistakes should be avoided when drafting particulars? What information is the other side entitled to?\nWhat factors should parties take into account when choosing between virtual and in-person hearing formats if a choice is available?\nHow early should parties begin preparing for hearings? When will using generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) be of assistance during the pre-hearing stage?\nWhat are frequent reasons for delays during the pre-hearing stage and how can parties avoid them? What types of behaviour leading to delay would be considered an abuse of process? What remedies are possible?\n\nModerator\n\n \nKaren Scott\nArbitrator/Mediator \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n \nRiley Kearns\nUnion Counsel\nTeamsters Local 31 \n\n\n \nAlex Ognibene\nOgnibene Law\nEmployer Counsel \n\n\nAccreditation \nCPD\nPlease see below for CPD information for this event.

SUMMARY:Lancaster Speaker Series: Dr. Tanya De Mello - Unconscious Biases
DESCRIPTION:Program \nThis session will explore how inclusion\, belonging\, and equity operate in workplaces through a labour\, employment\, and human rights lens. Drawing on research and practice\, Dr. De Mello will highlight how organizations\, including universities\, often fall short of reflecting the diversity of the communities they serve\, despite widespread use of equity and diversity language. The session will emphasize that a genuine sense of belonging is a key driver of job satisfaction\, employee well-being\, and retention\, and is shaped by everyday decisions about inclusion\, recognition\, and opportunity. Participants are invited to examine how conscious and unconscious biases influence the ways in which they engage and work. Rather than offering prescriptive solutions\, the session intentionally centres introspection and discomfort as necessary components of meaningful change. The discussion connects individual decision making to broader structural patterns\, reinforcing that inclusive workplaces are not created through intention alone but through sustained\, reflective practice and accountability. \n\n    \n        \n            Select an option\n                                            \n                    Live Webinar                \n                    \n\n        \n\n        Add to Cart\n    \n\n    \n     \nSpeakers \nDr. Tanya (Toni) De Mello \nVice President\, Equity and Community Inclusion\n\nAccreditation \nCPD\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR BC & Yukon for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved for Continuing Professional Development 1 hours under Section A of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Log of the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA).\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of British Columbia for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of New Brunswick may consider this program for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of Ontario may consider counting this program for 1 Substantive hours; 0 Professionalism hours.\nMembers of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society may count this program for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nAdditional InformationRegistration Fee – Single Attendee\nLive webinar: $49 \n(Registrations must be paid in advance of the webinar)\nPlease contact us by email\, or by phone at (416) 977-6618\, for discount pricing for additional participants and group orders.

During this webinar\, speakers will address the difficulties of drafting employment contracts for remote workers across multiple jurisdictions and equip attendees with the knowledge to create employment contracts that are compliant and effective. Specifically\, speakers will discuss: \n\nHow can one determine which set of legislated employment standards applies to a remote employee? Is the location where an employee works remotely the determining factor? Can a clause designating the location where the remote employee works be included in an employment contract?\nHow can you ensure that remote work contracts comply with employment standards legislation? Should employment contracts be tailored to specific jurisdictions or are general contracts acceptable?\nWhen will “choice of law” or “choice of forum” clauses be found to be enforceable? Not enforceable?\nIs a non-competition clause enforceable in cases involving an employee working remotely? Does the analysis differ for non-solicitation clauses?\nDo employees working remotely have a right to know if and how their employer utilizes monitoring and surveillance technologies to monitor performance? Should the potential monitoring and surveillance of employees be mentioned in an employment contract? How can an employer ensure that its activities are compliant with privacy legislation?\nAre employers required to ensure the health and safety of workers employed remotely? What aspects of health and safety in a remote work environment should be specifically addressed in employment contracts or workplace policies?\nWill an employer mandated ordering an employee’s return to the office be considered constructive dismissal?\n\nModerator\n\n \nRobert Basque\nArbitrator/Mediator\nGirard Bell \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n \nMark Repath\nEmployee Counsel\nIsrael Foulon LLP \n\n\n \nDianne Rideout\nEmployer Counsel\nNorton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP \n\n\nAccreditation \nCPD\nPlease see below for CPD information for this event.
