Misconduct in the Workplace: What Employers Need to Know
Workplace misconduct can range from inappropriate behaviour and dishonesty to serious policy breaches or illegal acts. For employers, handling misconduct properly is critical to protecting the organization and minimizing legal risks.
Failing to respond to misconduct — or responding incorrectly — can lead to constructive dismissal claims, human rights complaints, or wrongful dismissal lawsuits. Consulting an employment lawyer early on can help you confidently approach these situations.
