Overview
In this session, we will discuss what constitutes bad faith in the employment context and how it applies to different phases of the employment relationship. We will address employer conduct leading up to termination, at the time of termination, during the post-termination period and during litigation—each of which can have an effect on an award for bad faith damages.
Format
In this Advantage CPD webinar, we will focus on how to prevent and defend against claims of bad faith in the employment context including those related to:
- workplace investigations
- the manner of termination
- post-termination employment conduct, including:
- breaches of statute and minimum standards legislation, including the Employment Standards Act, 2000
- non-statutory considerations, including letters of recommendation or reference, reasons for dismissal and termination letters
Learning Objectives
You will learn how to avoid common pitfalls that can result in successful claims for bad faith damages in employment-related litigation, which are normally in addition to damages for wrongful dismissal. You will also learn how to best defend these types of bad faith claims.
