Employers have been navigating the COVID-19 pandemic longer than we anticipated, creating unforeseen challenges for management and human resources departments. As the dust continues to settle, many employers are moving to implement fully remote or hybrid work models for their workforce.

Join Field Law's Labour and Employment Group for a comprehensive half-day workshop that will provide attendees with tips and resources to help optimize remote and hybrid work arrangements while avoiding legal pitfalls.

Read more for an overview of this case and what this means for employers who implemented similar policies.

Over the last nine years the Program has awarded funds to support 115 individuals, organizations and charitable initiatives throughout Alberta and the Northwest Territories. With $685,000 donated in support of these local initiatives to date, we are excited to be awarding another $75,000 in 2022!

We had 130 ideas submitted for this year's Program, vote now for the ones you want to see funded in your community!
