No workplace can afford to turn a blind eye to workplace harassment, bullying and violence. If workplace harassment is left unchecked, not properly investigated or addressed by the employer, it can result in constructive dismissal claims and human rights complaints. In a civil action, damages, including special and extraordinary damages, may be awarded against the employer depending on the particular circumstances of the case.
Join Natalie MacDonald, author of Extraordinary Damages in Canadian Employment Law (Carswell, 2010) and Editor-in-Chief of The Employment Bulletin (Canada Law Book), for a webinar discussing the types of damages which may be awarded by courts and human rights tribunals arising out of workplace harassment scenarios.
This program is designed to be relevant, practical and informative to lawyers and human resources professionals alike because Ms. MacDonald uses a case study model to examine how special and extraordinary damages can apply if workplace harassment and bullying are left unchecked.
This webinar will examine:
- The types of workplace harassment, including the most current issues of workplace mobbing and cyber bullying.
- The role of Human Resources and how to conduct a proper investigation.
- Extraordinary damages in Canadian employment law, such as:
- Moral Damages
- Punitive Damages
- Tortious Damages
- Human Rights Remedies
- Steps employers can take to avoid extraordinary damages
