Ms. Josiane L’Heureux, a Labour and Employment Law partner at Lavery, and Ms. Valérie Korozs, a Labour and Employment Law associate at Lavery, acted as conference speakers at the 4th edition of the Conférence sur le congédiement au Québec that took place in Montreal on December 9-10, 2013.
Entitled “Contrat d’emploi ou contrat de services ? Tout ce qu’un employeur devrait savoir”, the conference of Ms. L’Heureux focused on the differences between a contract of employment and a service contract, the applicable case law and the process of entering into a contract. In her conference, entitled “Le congédiement déguisé : développements récents et considérations pratiques”, Ms. Korozs examined various issues such as the recent case law with respect to constructive dismissal, an employee’s right to give a notice of modification and an employee’s right to keep his/her job by invoking constructive dismissal.
