COVID-19 forced many employers to make temporary, and even permanent, changes to the terms of employees’ employment, from scheduling and hours, to pay, to temporary layoff and even employment termination. Now these changes are being tested by judges and arbitrators. Does violating COVID-19 safety policies constitute cause for dismissal? Is a temporary layoff due to COVID-19 a constructive dismissal? What’s the impact of the pandemic on reasonable notice periods?

Join McInnes Cooper Labour & Employment Lawyer Alex Warshick and Litigation Lawyer Andrew Kinley for an invitation-only virtual roundtable conversation, led by your questions, about five key learnings that employers, forced by COVID-19 to change employees’ terms of employment, can glean from court and arbitration decisions so far.
