Employers have a “duty to enquire” when it comes to bullying at work – meaning that if you suspect harassment is happening in your workforce you legally have to act on those suspicions.
And feigning ignorance isn’t an excuse.
“Before any allegations arise, employers must update their policies to make sure that they refer to not only harassment but harassment in all its forms, including digital,” says Stuart Rudner, founder of Rudner Law LLP.
Workplace Safety Group has a long-standing, professional relationship with Stuart Rudner, of Rudner Law, both as its’ corporate counsel, and as a referral resource for clients dealing with issues around workplace harassment and violence, unlawful dismissal and other employment issues. All clients WSG has referred have had successful outcomes due to Mr. Rudner’s knowledge, skill and dedicated attention to the case at hand.
On a personal note, Stuart is approachable, values-centred and an exceptional communicator, stemming from his passion to help his clients. Where some might hesitate to contact a lawyer, I would recommend Rudner Law as a first stop when dealing with employment matters. WSG is fortunate to have Rudner Law on our team as legal counsel, and to the benefit of our clients.
Stuart's practice is focused on employment law, an area in which he has developed considerable expertise. He provided legal counsel for my termination when I was recently let go. He understood my circumstances and concerns and provided understanding of the legal process and the options available.
Stuart represented me and kept me informed at every stage. He advised and represented me in a manner designed to achieve practical, cost-effective solutions.
With his experience we did not have to go to court in order to reach a reasonable settlement in a short period of time. It was a positive and rewarding experience under the circumstances. Stuart's focus is the bottom line: helping clients to maximize results while minimizing costs. I strongly recommend that if you have any employment-related issues, including offer letters or severance packages to be reviewed, that you contact Stuart. He advises and represents employers and employees.
I first came to know Stuart through his advice on LinkedIn and other sources such as HRPA and was very impressed with his knowledge and how he is able to provide solutions. Stuart is a very experienced and talented lawyer when it comes to employment law and I know that no matter how difficult a case, I am fully confident going to him for advice as I consider him to be the best in his field.
I recommend Stuart to all my clients knowing that they are in good hands and will have the best Employment Lawyer!
