What can you do when you find out an employee is a white supremacist or racist and isn’t hiding it?
In recent years, Stuart discussed many situations in which individuals have lost their jobs as a result of off-duty conduct. In one memorable case, an employee of Hydro One was immediately dismissed after a video of him yelling sexually inappropriate comments at a female news reporter went viral (although he was subsequently reinstated after grievance arbitration).
- So if someone is captured on video chanting racist slogans or supporting racist groups, can he be fired?
- What if your employee is spreading their offensive message around the workplace?
- At the other end of the spectrum, what if you discover an employee’s offensive beliefs, but they’re not public nor are they known by others within the organization?
During this webinar, Stuart will address:
- when off-duty conduct can justify discipline or dismissal
- how to assess when conduct rises to the level of just cause for dismissal
- how to update your policies to address off-duty conduct (including on and offline)
