This presentation reviews recent employment law decisions on termination clauses, equity compensation, dismissal damages, remote work and disability evidence. It examines Baker v. Van Dolder’s Home Team Inc. on “at any time” wording in termination clauses and Wigdor v. Facebook Canada Ltd. on restricted share units during the statutory notice period. Other decisions address an employer’s burden when alleging a failure to mitigate, future income loss following a for-cause dismissal, and constructive dismissal after a change to a remote work arrangement. The presentation also considers the medical evidence needed to establish disability in a human rights application, with practical implications for drafting employment agreements and preparing dismissal claims.
