techNL Member Webinar – Stewart McKelvey

Join us for our next Member Webinar hosted by Stewart McKelvey: From Stock Options to Remote Work – Key Issues Facing Tech Employers

There are a number of key issues facing employers in the Tech industry and law partners Ruth Trask (labour and employment law) and Tauna Staniland (corporate and securities law) of Stewart McKelvey will canvass and consider:

• Tech employers may be finding that employees (or investors) are pressing for the implementation of stock option plans. What the implications – i.e., what are stock options, do they make sense for every organization and what pitfalls do employers need to consider before/when implementing a plan.
• What do Tech employers need to know about employing remote workers in different jurisdictions?
• How can employers best organize and supervise remote workforces? Do workers enjoy a “right to disconnect”?
• What are the consideration of moving toward the “ROWE”: Results Only Work Environment – offering flexibility along with accountability
• If remote doesn’t work for your organization – what must employers consider in getting their team back together in the office?
• There have been new developments on non-competition agreements. Can Tech employers still use them?
