When Your Policies Create Liabilities You Didn’t Intend

Workplace policies are meant to reduce risk — but in some cases, they can unintentionally increase it.

In this webinar, Christine Ashton and Daniel Condon, both partners with Wilson Vukelich LLP, will discuss how well-intentioned policies may create obligations beyond what the law requires. Topics will include:
        •       Progressive discipline language that limits employer flexibility
        •       Alcohol and drug policies and the definition of impairment
        •       Human rights and investigation commitments that go too far
        •       Overtime language that creates unintended exposure
        •       Drafting strategies that preserve discretion

This session is designed for employers reviewing or updating their workplace policies who want to ensure their documentation protects — rather than expands — their legal risk.
