Join us for a free workshop with Pamela Connolly, CPHR from Nixon Wenger LLP, where she’ll share essential insights on how to protect your business and foster a positive, legally compliant workplace.

Navigating employment law can be complex, and a single misstep can lead to costly and time-consuming legal disputes.

This free workshop, offered by Community Futures North Okanagan as part of Small Business Week, is designed to help you proactively manage common workplace issues and reduce the risk of litigation.

In this practical session, you’ll learn:

• Key ESA Entitlements You Can’t Afford to Miss: Get a clear understanding of fundamental employee rights under the Employment Standards Act (ESA) to ensure your practices are compliant.

• Accommodating Medical Needs: Learn the ins and outs of your duty to accommodate and how to effectively manage employee medical needs while respecting privacy and legal obligations.

• Managing Internal Conflict: Discover why and when it’s crucial to address internal disputes, and how to handle them gracefully before they escalate into larger issues.

• Saying Goodbye with Grace: Master the art of respectful terminations. We’ll cover everything from preparing proper severance packages to understanding the expectations for employer conduct both during and after an employee’s departure.

This is a must-attend session for business owners and employers who want to confidently navigate the complexities of employment law and create a fair, respectful, and legally sound environment for their team.

This workshop will take place on the 2nd floor in the BX Room.
