Senior Officers of a Municipal Body: What Are Your Workplace Rights and Managerial Duties?

À propos de la formation

Director generals, clerks, treasurers, and other senior officers of municipal bodies face workplace challenges that can differ significantly from those encountered by other employees. Do you know the full extent of your rights in the exercise of your duties? What are the roles and responsibilities of your employer?

Across these three one-hour communities of practice, we will address key questions arising from these different challenges, helping to demystify your rights and obligations. Each session will explore a range of topics, including:

Key Topics Covered:

  • Sick leave or parental leave, and the right to reinstatement upon return to work;
  • The probationary period;
  • Dismissal;
  • Managerial accountability;
  • Available legal remedies;
  • And more.

Target Audience: Senior officers of local municipalities, MRCs, and intermunicipal boards (director general, clerk, treasurer, and others).

This project is made possible through funding from the Secrétariat aux relations avec les Québécois d’expression anglaise.
