OBA Taxation Law & Labour and Employment Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: May 14, 2020

COVID-19 has significantly impacted the Canadian economy, bringing about both uncertainty and considerable fiscal assistance for employers and employees alike by the federal and provincial governments. Both the crisis and the corresponding assistance have come quickly, and with it, some issues remain unresolved. Our leading experts will consider COVID-19 related employment and taxation issues for both employer and employee side counsel, including constructive dismissal, applying for and receiving Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, and the recent amendments to the federal Income Tax Act with respect to new benefits and wage subsidies.

Whether you are an employment or tax lawyer, join us for this innovative and focused program, and stay informed on pivotal issues concerning both employment and tax lawyers during the pandemic.
