When to Investigate: Triggers and Thresholds
How Canadian employers decide when a workplace situation requires a formal investigation — the statutory obligation to investigate harassment, threshold decisions, and the consequences of delayed or absent investigation.
Conducting a Fair Workplace Investigation
How to conduct a procedurally fair workplace investigation in Canada — investigator selection, planning, interviewing, evidence gathering, credibility assessment, and reaching defensible findings.
Investigation Reports: What to Include and What to Exclude
How to write investigation reports that are legally defensible, procedurally sound, and useful to decision-makers — findings of fact, recommendations, privilege, and what not to include.
Progressive Discipline: Structure, Documentation, and Consistency
How progressive discipline works in Canadian employment law — the structure and purpose of progressive discipline, documentation at each stage, suspension, and the consistency requirements that make discipline defensible.
Termination for Cause: The Legal Standard in Canada
What just cause for termination means in Canadian employment law — the legal standard, contextual assessment, the most common grounds, condonation, and how to conduct and document a defensible cause termination.
