Knowledge is never static. It is always evolving.

The labour and employment laws that govern working relationships, along with the standards and policies which both define and direct the occupational culture unique to every business, are constantly in flux.

This continuous ebbs and flow of ever-changing regulations nationally, regionally and globally has a very real impact on businesses worldwide, requiring employers to adjust quickly and instate appropriate measures to ensure compliance with the latest directives.

Filion Wakely Thorup Angeletti Webinar – Effective Employment Agreements: Make the Most of Your Contracts

Date: Tuesday, October 22, 2019 – 8 am to 9:30 am EST.

Filion will host a webinar providing attendees with an overview of the essential elements of an effective employment agreement.

Employment agreements are one of the most effective tools employers have at their disposal, particularly when it comes to limiting exposure in the context of a dismissal. However, a number of recent decisions issued by the Canadian courts highlight that simply having an employment agreement in place is not enough. Rather, contracts need to be precisely drafted to ensure they are binding, enforceable, and serve their desired purpose.

In this informative session, we will provide attendees with an overview of the essential elements of an effective employment agreement. We will also review the latest cases, and provide tips to avoid potential drafting pitfalls associated with these common contractual issues:

  • Termination provisions: is it possible to limit an employee’s entitlements to the minimums prescribed by legislation?
  • Probationary periods: are they necessary or advisable?
  • Incentive and bonus payments: can an employee’s entitlement to these forms of compensation be ousted during the notice period?
  • Restrictive Covenants: just how restrictive can they be?
  • Amending an agreement: can terms and conditions of employment be revised after a contract is in place?

Date and time:
October 22, 2019 8:00 am - 9:30 am (EDT)

Jackson Lewis Webinar – Mexico’s New Labor Laws: Union Organizing and New Regulations Increase Challenges for US Companies

Date: Monday, October 28, 2019 – 1 pm to 2 pm AEST

On May 1, Mexico adopted sweeping changes to its labor laws, ushering in a new era of labor relations. In less than six months, Mexico has seen a wave of independent union challenges and selective strikes and new regulations are about to be issued which will give the law more teeth. This will likely result in a more significant increase in the amount and breadth of independent unionization than Mexico has ever seen. Join us as we review the new challenges facing employers, and strategies to respond to increased unionization in this evolving legal environment.

Insights
  • How new Mexican labor laws strengthen independent unions
  • The likely increase of union organizing in US companies with Mexican operations
  • New restrictions on how employers can interact with unions
  • Expanded employee rights
  • How pressure from US Congress has affected these reforms
