 March 15, 2010 Progressive Discipline and the Key Features of an Effective Progressive Discipline Policy Q: I am the sole human resource professional of a small non-union manufacturing company and I have an employee who is giving me a headache. The employee started off by coming into work late without advance warning or a telephone call, he is refusing to take orders from his Supervisor and his carelessness caused a small mishap on the production line resulting in two hours of downtime during a peak production period and a small health and safety issue. Navigating the Packaging and Labeling Regime Canada's legal packaging and labeling regime is a maze of federal-level legislation that is primarily aimed at consumer products. The Consumer Packaging and Labeling Act (“the CPLA”) is the main statute that governs the vast majority of packaging and labeling requirements for consumer products and sets minimum packaging and labeling requirements. What's New at KMB Community Initiative Nahani Way Public School Gift of Reading Program Keyser Mason Ball, LLP continues to provide volunteers at Nahani Way Public School twice weekly to sit quietly with Junior Kindergarten children on a one-to-one basis and read books to them. The purpose of this program is to introduce children to books and encourage them to read for pleasure. Skating Days On February 22, 24 and 25th Nahani Way Public School held their annual Skating Day at Iceland Mississauga for approximately 100 students each day. Our volunteers attended on each of those days and provided assistance to the children in tying up the many skates and skating with them for the hour on the ice. Peel Youth Village Breakfast Program In February, we commenced our commitment to attending at the Peel Youth Village on Tuesday mornings to prepare and serve a nutritious breakfast for the children in the community before they board their bus for school. Homework Club Our volunteers attend at the Peel Youth Village during afterschool hours to provide assistance to the children with their homework or to simply interact with them. Upcoming Events….

Investigating Workplace Complaints - Getting It Right
If you do it wrong, bad things can happen.
If you don't do it at all, things can get even more ugly.
Dealing with workplace complaints (including harassment) requires a methodical and reliable process in order to determine the nature of the problem, the prevalence of the problem, the scope of the problem and the perception of both management and employees of the issue. Once harassment or another workplace issue is identified, corrective action should be immediate, accessible to all and maintained vigilantly.
