The relationship between employers and employees has many facets (see the Top 10 B.C. workplace decisions rendered in 2014 by our courts, boards and tribunals as an example). Employment law continues to evolve as evidenced by the B.C. and Federal courts’ decisions relating to family status discrimination. Conducting proper workplace investigations is important if an organization wants to avoid the potential of significant damages, and drafting appropriate restrictive covenants is key to ensuring that an organization’s specific concerns are properly protected. Of course, a discussion of employment law without addressing work life balance would, in and of itself, seem unbalanced.
