Ending Telecommute Arrangements Without Committing Constructive Dismissal
Many employers regarded telecommuting during the pandemic as a temporary expedient that would end when the public health situation stabilized. But ending these arrangements is proving highly problematic. Having gotten used to working from home, telecommuters don’t want to return to the office.

Or is it legitimate for an organization to revoke an employee’s right to telecommute?

Ontario Court Shocker Opens Door to Harassment-Based Constructive Dismissal Claims
Workers comp bars lawsuits against employers for work-related injuries; in exchange, workers get automatic coverage of work injuries regardless of who’s at fault.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Constructive dismissal occurs where the employer demonstrates an intention to no longer be bound to the employment contract. Since the employee has not been formally dismissed by the employer, the employer’s act is referred to as “constructive dismissal”. This most commonly happens when an employer unilaterally reduces an employee’s pay or benefits or reassigns work duties to such an extent that the essential nature of the employee’s position is altered.
In this recorded webinar, speaker Howard Levitt will walk you through constructive dismissal. He will cover the basics of what constructive dismissal is and common constructive dismissal claims. Howard explains how to avoid constructive dismissal claims and what to do when you are faced with a constructive dismissal claim.
