They discuss some of the challenges faced with promotions into a leadership role.

Getting promoted is one of the most exciting events in a career. Yet many are placed in the role without any knowledge of what it takes to be a leader, let alone a great leader. You’re expected to sink or swim, and most companies don’t provide any support or leadership training either before or after the promotion.

About Noel Massie

Noel Massie began working for UPS part time during college and rose through the ranks to become vice president for UPS’s US Delivery Operations. Before his retirement in 2019, he oversaw 200,000 employees who were led by 12,000 supervisors.

An overview of dismissals - with cause, without cause, and constructive - so you can understand your rights and adopt a strategic approach.

Topics include:

- Why are most termination clauses in employment contracts not worth the paper they are printed on?

- When can you "fire" someone for just cause?

- Is severance really a month of salary per year of service?

- Are you entitled to bonuses even after dismissal?

Dismissals remain the most misunderstood area of HR Law, and yet it is also the most dangerous. Getting it wrong can expose an organization to substantial liability and can cause someone to lose out on tens of thousands of dollars. Despite that, most people and organizations don't get proper advice, choosing to act before they understand their rights and obligations and costing themselves a lot by doing so.

We will explain how to assess severance obligations and post-termination entitlements, how to minimize termination costs, when just cause for dismissal exists, and how you can dismiss someone without meaning to by changing the terms of their employment. You will find out why we say that although the threshold is high, "just cause is not a lost cause".

Lastly, attendees will learn why we say that the majority of termination clauses in Ontario are unenforceable, and how to ensure that you can rely on yours.
