So the exam is 6 weeks away – must be exciting… nerve racking… scary?
Whatever your feelings are around it, you still have time to set out a strategy and stick to it. I remember that when I was preparing for the NPPA, my group and I started meeting about twice as week when we go to this point. The value of the group being that we had to set time aside, or we would let each other down; consider this for your groups as well.
This Week
Just wanted to say that the amount of collaboration happening on the Facebook group (Canadian HR Press – Guides & Resources) is great, but that some of you are posting your responses under the NKE discussion; Just try and keep note of where you are posting your comments so as not to confuse the NKE writers.
Okay, so what was last week’s answer?
It was:
C – You can legally terminate for just cause in this scenario.
Here is some background info; the case was based on the case of Kelly vs. Linamar Corp. which you can read all about right here:

Week 6 Update
You are Career Transition Counselor whose job it is to fly from city-to-city helping companies terminate employees, as well as helping the employees cope with the loss of their employment.
You enjoy your job, and are at the point that you are concentrating more on collecting flying miles than anything else.
However, one day back at head office you are introduced to Natalie Keener, the newest employee/consultant in your company, who has come up with the revolutionary concept of firing people over the Internet, thereby saving a lot of revenue for the company.
You have been employed by this company for over 10 years, and are admittedly set in your ways, so the CEO has asked you to work closely with Natalie on this new project.
a) Work with Natalie, with the goal of proving her internet-based concept irrelevant to your line of work
b) Tell the CEO that you don’t like this concept, it will never work, and refuse to be involved
c) Embrace this new concept – work closely with Natalie to ensure her project is a hit!
d) Embrace this new concept, work closely with Natalie, and let her experience the challenges of this line of work; See how her concept is accepted in the marketplace.
Alright - there will be some bonus marks if you know what this question was based off of.
The answer will be posted next week, in this blog. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing your answers on our Facebook Group: Canadian HR Press – Guides & Resources
Have a good week,
