Challenging Terminations: It's More Than a With Cause or Without Cause Termination!

On September 13^th, Christopher Deehy participated in a panel on challenging terminations, which took place during the Canadian Association of Counsel to Employers' (CACE) 16^th annual conference in Ottawa.

The panel discussed practical tips to assist in managing challenging termination requests from clients, including:

• during statutorily-protected leaves;
• while on a work visa;
• during sick leave;
• when returning from a lengthy pregnancy/parental leave;
• in the federal context in the post-Wilson world in the absence of just cause (and in other jurisdictions with similar protections).
