Employers are often confronted with their employees’ lacking performance and uncertainty often arises regarding the proper way of addressing such situations. This in turn results in employees not being afforded an opportunity to bring their performance up to the required standard and employers finding themselves on the wrong side of a labour dispute. There is a vast difference in the procedure for dealing with misconduct versus that of poor performance. 

A Last Will and Testament, or simple a will, is a legal document that directs to whom your property will pass to when you die.  A trust is also a legal document created during life or as part of your Will, whereby an individual transfers ownership of property to a trust which is managed by an individual or fiduciary for the benefit of another individual. The document specifies the purpose of the trust along with the terms and conditions by which the assets are to be managed and ultimately distributed to the beneficiaries. The legal requirements for drafting a Will or a Trust are relatively simple yet one mistake can potentially invalidate the Will or Trust entirely. 

There is already a common understanding that in circumstances where an employee is found to have acted negligently, or has caused damage or harm in some way, it is often likely that such an employee’s employer will often be held vicarious liable for the employee’s actions.
