I was pleased to recently add two employment law related articles to the Ontario Bar Association Labour & Employment law section webpage from the folks at Gowling WLG's Employment, Labour & Equalities Group in Toronto & Ottawa: https://lnkd.in/gbmzBVj9. We have Carson Healey explaining how Ontario’s courts have once again proven that serious consequences ensue for employers who do not protect their employees from harassment. In Stride v. Syra Group Holdings, the court issued an award of $125,000 in human rights damages and $50,000 in moral damages for the abusive and harsh treatment the plaintiff endured. We also have Andrew Bratt, Drew McArthur & Rachel Corwin's piece about why, notwithstanding the increasing scrutiny and frequent invalidation of termination provisions by trial judges, it is still worthwhile for employers to include restrictive termination provisions in employment contracts as there are numerous examples of courts upholding the language when properly drafted. The write about the latest example, being Bertsch v. Datastealth. If you are interested in submitting an article, which may make it into the bi-monthly Section Insider newsletter, please pitch your idea to me at [email protected]. #employmentlaw #ontariolaw #wrongfuldismissal #harassment
