Fixed-Term Employment Defeats Wrongful Dismissal Claim (Mondaq News Alerts)

In Steele v. The Corporation of the City of Barrie, 2022 ONSC 7245, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice provided guidance on how courts will determine ...

The agreement and extensions were neither unclear nor ambiguous in describing the employment as temporary, with fixed dates, and there was no sound or objective basis for the Plaintiff to form the impression that the employment was indefinite. There was no ambiguity in the contract or extensions, nor conduct which could have objectively signalled any other arrangement but a fixed-term employment. At no time was there any objectively reasonable indication that the employment term would be indefinite. The Plaintiff sued for wrongful dismissal claiming pay in lieu of notice and punitive damages. Such agreements are therefore heavily scrutinized by courts to determine whether the underlying employment relationship is more accurately described as an indefinite-term one, with all the employer obligations that follow such a finding. Whether an employment relationship is fixed-term or indefinite can have a drastic effect on an employee's entitlements under the Employment Standards Act, 2000.

Skills-Based Employment Can Help To Find “Invisible Workers” (Forbes)

Research has shown that around 70% of organizations are currently suffering from some form of skills shortage. Deloitte argue that taking a skills-based ...

A skills-based approach to recruitment not only promises to be faster and more effective but also fairer as resumes no longer need names, years of experience, or the various other things that may bias our decisions. [MilGears](https://milgears.osd.mil/) platform allows both service members and veterans to capture any skills that are acquired via on-the-job experience, education, or training. This has placed those who haven't been able to get a degree at a clear disadvantage in the labor market as those with credentials are nearly always chosen ahead of them, even if they have more relevant skills to offer. [ Human Capital Trends](https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/focus/human-capital-trends.html) report, consulting firm Deloitte argues that a skills-based approach would help to fill that gap. What’s more, the upward mobility of these people is far less than that of their peers with degrees. The MilGears platform offers an example of how this might emerge. The researchers estimate that around 1 million young people enter the job market each year with just a high school education. It's an approach that Deloitte has helped to spread via the [ OneTen](https://oneten.org/) initiative, which is a coalition formed in 2020 by 37 founding companies to help one million Black individuals advance despite not having a four-year degree. Evidence shows that there are millions of "invisible" workers across the economy that are not being utilized by organizations today. With the Covid pandemic prompting many to leave the workforce, the problem has only become more severe. “So we focus on the non-college population at an early age. [ research](https://www.uea.ac.uk/groups-and-centres/a-z/increase-valorisation-sociale) has shown that millions of workers are overlooked for roles they could adequately perform due to factors that are largely unrelated to their skills.

Internal Employment Investigations In France: Courts Set The Rules (Mondaq News Alerts)

The conduct of internal investigations has developed rapidly within French companies in recent years under the impetus of the law of December 9, 2016, ...

If the investigation is entrusted to an external legal advisor, a preliminary list of the people to be interviewed will be agreed with the company in the engagement letter. The investigation report itself should be drafted carefully in the expectation that it may be the subject of critical judicial review. Not necessarily, as the French Supreme Court has held that an investigation report cannot be rejected on the grounds that the investigation was entrusted to the company's human resources department and not to the staff representatives (i.e., the social and economic committee – the CSE). In other words, the fact that only the alleged victims, or even only some of them, were interviewed does not lead to the conclusion that the investigation was incomplete. Last year, the French Supreme Court ruled that the fact that an accused employee did not have access to the elements of the investigation and to the statements collected during it or that he was not interviewed or had the opportunity to confront his accusers was not contrary to the rights of defence or to the adversarial principle. Accordingly, an investigation conducted on an allegation of bullying cannot be dismissed on the grounds that only some of the employees who complained of bullying were interviewed (Cass. The Court ruled that the decision taken by the employer at the end of the investigation and the facts on which it is based can always, if necessary, be examined by the courts on application by the employee concerned. The Court of Appeal held that this article did not allow the undertaking of an internal investigation that had not been brought to the attention of the accused employee. In France, the employer has the power to control and monitor the activity of employees during working hours, but cannot resort to clandestine monitoring means, i.e., one that has not previously been brought to the attention of the employees. In this respect, the French Supreme Court ruled that the absence of or even the delay in undertaking an investigation, after a report of potential moral harassment, is a violation by the employer of its obligation to prevent occupational risks (Cass. However, the overriding obligation on the employer to preserve the health and safety of employees will make the internal investigation necessary in many cases and particularly in situations of moral harassment. an employee who has been elected by the other employees to represent them before the employer), the employer has no legal obligation to implement an investigation and the French Labor Code does not contain any rules regarding the manner in which the investigation is undertaken.
