Misconduct is a sensitive and complex area of employment – and without a clear, fair process, things can quickly go wrong. Employers risk legal claims, reputation fallout and workplace disruption. And yet, many are still unsure what actually constitutes misconduct, how to investigate it, or when termination is the right step.
Join us for Part 2 of our highly-requested webinar, An Employer’s Guide To Terminations, where our local Employment Counsel Sanam Ahmadzadeh returns to walk you through the key steps of managing misconduct effectively.
