Join us on May 31 for an exciting speaker and topic!

Following some time for networking and dinner, we will have a presentation by Andy Wood on Minimizing The Risk Of A Discriminatory Action Complaint

An employee who raises a health or safety issue in the workplace, and subsequently is penalized by the employer, may have grounds for filing a Discriminatory Action Complaint under the Workers Compensation Act (“Act”)

This presentation will examine:

• What is a “discriminatory action complaint”;
• The legal tests applicable to the adjudication of discriminatory action complaints;
• Remedies for discriminatory actions;
• Strategies and best practices for minimizing the risk of, and defending against a discriminatory action complaint.
