OBA Labour and Employment Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: November 16, 2020

Employment contracts can be valuable part of your employment agreement, either as an employer or employee. However, there are a number of tricky issues that need to be correctly drafted to ensure that they are enforceable and achieve the intended goals. Our expert faculty will examine key considerations for drafting, amending and interpreting employment contracts. Employer and employee side counsel will then take a deeper dive into common employment contractual provisions including:

• Termination provisions
• Frustration of contract
• Restrictive covenants
• Arbitration clauses
• How contracts are being adjusted as a result of the pandemic

Whether you counsel employers with drafting and/or amending employment contracts, or you advise employees in understanding and enforcing their rights, our valuable program will allow you to approach employment contracts with added confidence.
