BCSIS Virtual Information Session: EMPLOYER-PAID SICK LEAVE AND ﻿MINISTRY OF LABOUR UPDATE
2021-12-06 13:00 - 14:30
In this Virtual Information Session, Ministry of Labour representatives will provide a comprehensive overview of B.C.’s new employer-paid sick leave.
In January 2022, the Government of B.C. will implement this new regulation for workers, which will allow all employees in the province to stay home when they are sick or injured, without losing wages, for a set number of days each year. It is essential for settlement service providers, especially those on the front lines, to understand employer-paid sick leave, in order to accurately inform and guide newcomer clients with the correct information.
This session will include detailed information on the public engagement process that took place prior to this legislation coming into effect and a clear explanation of how it will be implemented. Speakers from the Ministry of Labour will share updates on other topics that are relevant to settlement service providers, such as recent developments with respect to the Temporary Foreign Worker Protection Act and the Minister of Labour’s mandate letter commitment regarding minimum wage.
Ministry of Labour speakers are John Blakely, Executive Director Labour Policy and Legislation; Michel Tanner, Director Labour Policy and Legislation; and Taylor Paulsen, Industrial Relations Officer, Employment Standards Branch.

2021-12-02 12:00 - 13:00
The concept of livability has received much attention over the last two decades among urban planners, policymakers, and researchers. However, there has been little discussion on immigrant women’s experiences and perceptions of neighbourhood livability in the Canadian context.
Through a vast amount of research, the study that will be shared during this lunch and learn, contributes to filling the gap and explores the qualities of a likeable neighbourhood in a multicultural city. Based on the research findings, a livable neighbourhood in a multicultural city incorporates ten different factors that will be discussed.

Webinar: Conflict Resolution Strategies for Migrant Worker Support Organizations
2021-11-29 10:00 - 11:30
Conflict in the workplace is a common occurrence. For migrant workers there are added factors such as language barriers, cultural differences and power struggles impacting relationships among migrant workers and with their supervisors/employers. The pandemic has also heightened the situation. There are fewer social events and activities for relaxation due to COVID-19, resulting in less outlets for workers to destress causing emotions to boil over. How conflicts are resolved has a huge impact on the worker and the culture of the workplace. It’s important for support workers to have greater understanding of conflict resolution techniques to support workers when conflict arises in their workplace.
In this webinar we will examine:
– Key terms and principles of conflict resolution
– Types of workplace conflict including worker and supervisor conflict and co-worker conflict
– Conflict resolution strategies
– Recommendations of techniques for resolving conflict for migrant workers in the workplace
