As golf courses across Canada begin reopening under new government-imposed public health regulations, how can employers properly manage the expectations of staff who are returning to work? Given the circumstances, or the "new normal", what obligations (if any) do employers have towards smaller teams who may be fulfilling multiple duties and potentially working longer hours to support operations? How do health and safety considerations come into play for employees who refuse to return to work due to the potential risk of COVID-19 infection? For employees who are getting back to their jobs, what responsibilities do employers face related to their health and safety and to childcare requirements?
Join Lorenzo Lisi, Leader of the Aird & Berlis Workplace Law Group, as he delivers a special presentation to the Professional Golfers’ Association of Canada, on what to expect when your teams heads back to work following lockdown.
