“If the nature of a job and an industry lends itself to a higher standard of conduct, then a court or arbitrator is more likely to accept a less-than-perfect process prior to dismissal on the employer’s part.”
So says Sharaf Sultan, principal of Sultan Lawyers in Toronto, after an arbitrator upheld the firing of a healthcare worker for breaching patient care policies and procedures.
Michael Garron Hospital is a hospital in Toronto. The worker was a full-time registered practical nurse (RPN) at the hospital since 2007.
