Last week, the provincial government announced its plan to re-open the provincial economy. The plan is built on a methodical and phased-in approach to slowly lifting restrictions on businesses and services.  The lifting of restrictions will be implemented in five phases via public health orders with the timing dictated by evidence of transmission of the COVID-19 virus.

Phase One of the plan will commence Monday, May 4, with the re-opening of medical services, such as dentistry, optometry, physical therapy, optician services, podiatry, occupational therapy and chiropractic treatment.  Golf courses, provincial parks and campgrounds will also re-open.

Phase Two is anticipated to commence on May 19 and will include the re-opening of a variety of retail businesses and select personal services, such as hairdressers, registered massage therapists, acupuncturists and acupressurists.

Unsubstantiated Findings In Workplace Investigations: What To Do When You Can’t Decide

When workplace investigators face difficult decisions, many default to marking allegations as "unsubstantiated" to avoid risk.
