Overview

This resource provides the insight and direction you need to manage each stage of employment effectively — from “courting” (the search for employees), “engagement” (hiring), and “marriage” (maintaining the employment relationship) to “separation” (dealing with employee issues) and “divorce” (employee dismissal, resignation, or retirement).

For Better or For Worse offers practical guidance on:

• avoiding potential minefields by drafting employment contracts properly;
• managing your staff effectively and legally — from conducting
  performance to salary reviews; and
• handling dismissals carefully (for example, keeping in mind that
  matters might proceed to litigation).

For Better or For Worse also includes new information on:

• pre-employment drug testing, privacy, alcohol-related liability, and workplace violence;
• the new landmark cases Wallace v. United Grain Growers Ltd. and
  McKinley v. BC Tel; and
• the latest changes in human rights requirements and guidelines,
  employment standards legislation, and equity.
