Out With The Old, In With The New: Lessons Learned from 2020 and What to Expect in 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic brought unexpected change and upheaval to workplaces across the country and around the world.

Termination and Closure

  • Does a requirement to permanently work-from-home or return to the office constitute a constructive dismissal?
  • Can an Ontario employer terminate an employee on Infectious Disease Emergency Leave?
  • What is a ?mass termination? and how does it impact an employer?s obligation to its employees?
  • Recent case law on the enforceability of employment agreements.

A Return to Normal?

  • Managing a request for accommodation related to mental health and COVID-19 fears.
  • Can an employer require an employee to be vaccinated from COVID-19?
  • For how long can an employer remain on Infectious Disease Emergency Leave either due to the employee?s own health status or need to provide ?care and support? to a family member?
