Please Full Answer Case study BUSN1155-04 Canadian Business Law:

Riley and Sara owned a small construction company that focused on small home renovations. Their company takes pride in their relationships with all their stakeholders, suppliers, staff, clients, and community. They take their role as role models for other women in the industry very seriously.

The start of the pandemic brought the industry to a brief halt but soon after business took off as it was one of the industries the government deemed essential and allowed to continue to operate. People took their money otherwise spent on vacations and other outings and renovated their homes both inside and out.

Everything was going very well except for trying to comply with government mandates of social distancing and wearing masks. Not following these rules came with heavy fines and possible stop work orders. Staff on two of their sites did not want to wear masks or social distance even when suppliers and clients were in the house. As women in a traditionally male industry Riley and Sara had dealt with many difficult situations before and they had never been afraid to bring down the hammer(get it?) and fire insubordinate employees. The huge demand for construction workers, however, made it difficult to simply fire the offending workers.

What is the dispute and how should Riley and Sara deal with it? Do they need a lawyer?
