The paper aims to change and abolish existing principles amongst the employment landscape, with the overall aim to bolster protection for employees. However, debate swirls over its practicality.

During the November Employment and Labour Law Insights webinar, partner Sven Poysa, told participants that recent Ontario case law suggests termination provisions may again be enforceable. This has not been the case for several years now. Sven was a webinar presenter, along with partner Shaun Parker and associates Melanie Simon and James Dunn. The Ontario Superior Court, in Bertsch v. Datastealth Inc., ruled the termination provision in that case was clear and unambiguous and thus enforceable. Sven suggests employers regularly review and update their termination provisions to reflect ever-changing case law and to consider provincial differences. Melanie covered job moonlighting in the era of remote work and James reviewed recent legislative updates in Ontario and British Columbia, including the change in the Ontario Employment Standards Act that an employer can no longer require a doctor’s certificate as evidence that the employee is entitled to their three days of sick leave under the Act.
