Webinar + MP3 Bundle - $595.00

Program Overview

In a world where employees can spend their entire careers in front of a screen, how can remote workplaces best maintain the confidentiality, privacy, and security of employee information? Specifically, experts will discuss:

  • What key issues should be addressed in collective agreement provisions or in policies governing remote work? What rules concerning employee privacy and working hours should govern work-from-home arrangements?
  • What impacts have electronic monitoring policies under the Working for Workers Act had on employees? Employers? Unions?
  • What limits, if any, should be placed on using digital monitoring technologies to supervise remote employees and manage performance?
  • What limits, if any, should be placed on using digital monitoring technologies to track an employee’s workplace devices and online conduct outside of working hours?
  • How have arbitral attitudes evolved with respect to evaluating surveillance measures and privacy rights for remote workers?
  • How can employers and unions best ensure shared information remains confidential and secure in remote workplaces?
