Description: |
||
| Terminating an employment relationship is rarely enjoyable. This is especially true when the employee being dismissed hasn’t done anything wrong but is simply the unfortunate victim of a tough economy. Employers having to lay off good workers won’t be able to turn the bad news of dismissal into a happy event, but there are ways to make it less painful for their employees. This session is designed to remind managers of the general legal principles that apply to layoffs and to identify practical and legal weaknesses in the dismissal strategies used by some employers. The employer-favourable complications of the “new” law of constructive dismissal and the old “Dismissal Mistakes of the Cryogenically Frozen HR Manager” are also amongst the topics to be examined. | ||

| This session would appeal to all human resource professionals. |
