As business strategies continue to evolve, workers’ compensation and managing injured workers remains a challenging aspect of maintaining productivity and efficiency. In this seminar, our national practice group will review important updates in legislation and case law from across the country as well as provide key strategies for mitigating risks and managing costs. This seminar will be presented as a panel and questions are encouraged.

Topics that will be covered include:

• Understanding the jurisdiction of workers’ compensation boards, the right to sue, dealing with workers’ actions in multiple forums, and protecting employers and directors from civil liability
• National update on entitlements for mental stress injuries in the workplace
• Accidents arising “in the course of employment”: addressing accidents that occur outside the normal workplace
• Recent legislative and regulatory updates
• Looking to the future: can streamlining workers’ compensation across provinces facilitate interprovincial trade? (vs can workers’ compensation be better standardized across the provinces?)

We hope you can join us on-line for this complimentary session.
