In recent months, in addition to adapting to the upheavals and
managing the challenges of COVID-19 on the labour market, employers
have had to continue to handle many more traditional issues,
including in terms of hiring, psychological harassment, termination
of employment, and labour relations.
This document provides an overview of landmark employment and
labour law decisions rendered in 2021 and the first weeks of 2022
by the specialized labour and employment authorities, as well as by
the Québec Superior Court and Court of Appeal. The decisions
presented in this brochure include issues related to
discrimination, psychological harassment, legal duty of loyalty,
employment injuries, constructive dismissal, unionization of
first-level managers and the use of replacement workers in a
telework context.
