Dear HR Professional,
Make No Mistake, if an HR-related lawsuit against your organization ever goes to court, you could be exposed to potential damages amounting to millions of dollars – in addition to staggering legal fees.
If you think that’s an exaggeration, here are just a few recent examples:
- $2.6 million: What Merrill Lynch had to pay in Wallace Damages for terminating a senior employee ”in bad faith”
- Over $100 million: The damages demanded by Scotiabank employees in a class action lawsuit for unpaid overtime
- $500,000: The damages an arbitrator ordered the Greater Toronto Airport Authority for inflicting mental distress on an employee who was fired in a “high-handed” way
- $500,000: The maximum fines Ontario employers now face for failing to comply with the province’s new workplace violence law (Bill 168)
Here’s the bottom line: you can go to court, hope you win an employment lawsuit, and perhaps dodge staggering penalties – OR you can take steps now to prevent the lawsuit before it starts.
That’s why thousands of HR professionals across Canada count on HR Insider.
