130 CIBC workers laid off, expected to help with training replacements – Global News
CIBC is eliminating up to 130 jobs in its Toronto finance department and outsourcing the work to India.
As part of the transition, staff losing their positions must train other local CIBC employees. Those employees then train the workers in India who will be taking over the jobs.
Can an employer force an employee to train the person who will soon be replacing them? Chris Justice, a Toronto employment lawyer and associate at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP joined host Jeff McArthur on The Morning Show on Global TV to explain how such a scenario could be interpreted as a Constructive Dismissal, and why businesses should avoid this practice altogether.
