Location:
Via Zoom

Get into the holiday spirit with us as we present the final instalment for 2024 of our ongoing webinar series: Legal updates for Canadian employers. Join us for a special, complimentary one-hour webinar, where we'll cover essential workplace topics to help you navigate the unique challenges of the holiday season and update you on recent labour and employment developments. Here's a preview of the topics we'll cover:

• How to avoid the naughty list with your holiday party: Learn about potential legal risks, from alcohol to harassment concerns, and gain strategies to create a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable event while protecting your organization.
• A visit from the ghost of Christmas past: Prepare for a potential shift back to stricter immigration rules for hiring foreign workers. We'll provide guidance on how to navigate the new rules for hiring under the International Mobility Program and Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
• Hold the eggnog?: Understand the latest implications of the Federal Court of Appeal's recent decision on random drug and alcohol testing in safety-sensitive workplaces, with guidance on legal frameworks and best practices.
• Making a list and checking it twice: Learn about the Alberta Human Rights Act's requirements for reasonable settlement behavior and how employers can make fair offers in human rights claims.

As always, we'll close with a Q&A session to address your questions. We hope you can join us for this festive and informative event - don't miss out on wrapping up the year with valuable insights!
