Overview
As remote and hybrid work become increasingly common across Canadian workplaces, employees are less geographically tied to their employers’ physical offices than ever before. Some employees are leveraging this opportunity by working remotely from other provinces, territories, or countries on temporary “workcations” or more permanently as “digital nomads”. At the same time, the widespread adoption of remote work offers employers new opportunities to hire talent from outside of their place of business operation.
This seminar will review what employers need to know when navigating this new type of working relationship. In particular, our expert panelists will provide an in-depth look at:
- The legal considerations facing employers and employees who enter into cross-boundary work arrangements
- Best practices for recruiting and managing a globally distributed workforce
- Steps for ensuring the protection of business data in a remote work relationship
- Effective strategies for mitigating the operational and legal risks that arise from interjurisdictional work
