Description:
OCASI Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants - OCASI is pleased to announce a Webinar on: Right, Roles, Responsibilities of Employers: What you need to know about resuming in-person service delivery during COVID-19 recovery stages.
Presented by Jonquille Pak, of Pak Smith Employment Lawyers The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people to create, interact and work differently. Distancing and the use of personal protective equipment may be part of the foreseeable future, and as the province begins to loosen its restrictions to open up the province more and more, it’s inevitable that many immigrant and refugee serving agencies will have to return to some form of in-person service delivery.
OCASI invites you to a 2 hour informative webinar focused on the roles & responsibilities of executive directors and senior managers as employers when it comes to implementing return to work policies, ensuring employer due diligence, as well as discussing potential long term obligations going forward.
If you have any questions please contact Selina Basudde, OCASI Executive Coordinator, at sbasudde@ocasi.org
