A recent British Columbia Court of Appeal decision, Cressey Construction Corporation v. Parolin, 2026 BCCA 199, highlights the legal risks employers may face when changing long-standing workplace arrangements.
The Court found that where an employee has been permitted to work remotely for an extended period, that arrangement may become a fundamental part of the employment relationship. Significant changes to those terms, particularly without adequate notice, can expose employers to constructive dismissal claims.
Whether you're an employer considering policy changes or an employee concerned about your workplace rights, understanding the legal implications is essential.
