The COVID-19 pandemic caused many employers to temporarily lay-off employees or significantly reduce compensation packages to stay afloat. In many cases, employees claimed these changes constituted a constructive dismissal and sued for damages.
We are now beginning to see cases from our courts to consider the issue of constructive dismissal in the context of COVID-19. Join us in this webinar to discuss recent cases on the following topics:
- Constructive Dismissal for COVID-19 Reasons: When will a COVID-19 related change to terms and conditions of employment breach the employment relationship?
- Infectious Disease Emergency Leave: In Ontario, can an employee deemed to be on Infectious Disease Emergency Leave still claim constructive dismissal at common law?
- Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and Damages: Can CERB collected by an employee reduce the potential damages owed by an employer?

The CFA Franchise CEO Forums are small, confidential, and facilitated discussion groups of 8 – 12 CEOs, Presidents, and Founders of franchise systems of similar sizes. The purpose of these forums is to create a safe, private, and trustful environment for franchise system leaders to discuss concerns and the challenges they face in their businesses.
The Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) is about harnessing the power of our member community to help each other. We believe in being Better Together and Growing Together™. Now more than ever before, CFA members need to support each other as we move through the global pandemic and its impact on our businesses.
Our goal is to help you create mutually-beneficial, one-to-one relationships with fellow franchise system leaders so you can gain confidential resources who you can rely on for honest insights and perspectives whenever you face a business challenge that keeps you up at night!
ATTENTION: CFA Franchise CEO Forums are EXCLUSIVE to CFA member franchise system CEOs, Presidents, Founders.

Back by Popular Demand!
Join the Canadian Franchise Association on July 13, 2021 at 4pm EST for the CFA Supplier Referral Networking event! You and fellow CFA members in the Supplier category can virtually meet over a Zoom call to learn what programs/services other supplier members offer in their business, while building relationships and creating referrals for clients in search of other services in the Franchise Support Services/Suppliers category.
Attending helps increase your chances of generating business leads from fellow suppliers who refer their clients to your services.
During this hour-long networking event, attendees will break into small groups of about 5 people, where each person is invited to share a 2 minute overview of the services their company offers, moderated by a room host. We encourage email and LinkedIn exchanges among attendees to help broaden your network.
You won’t want to miss out on this networking opportunity with fellow CFA supplier members! This event is open to all CFA supplier members and is sponsored by BDO Canada.
